New Year. New Resolution.

Where are you? Are you floating along on an ocean current energized by the choices of your past? 

Yes? 

You may feel you have no control over the direction you’re going in because your course had been set long ago based upon the decisions/choices you'd made in your past .

Is this ringing true for you?  

Well, imagine this… you are tossing out an anchor.  Movement stops while you determine the new direction you want to go in. You've made up your mind that your past will no longer dictate your future and it's time to 'go against the flow' of what has become familiar to you. 

Will it be easy? No.  But can you do it?  YES!

Dropping the anchor becomes a metaphor which symbolizes that you are taking the time to rechart your life based upon where you are right now and the decisions you're able to make today. If you don't like where the current has been taking you - where do you want to go? 

Determine what's important to you. Set goals that will help you to obtain what's closest to your heart and then diligently, one day at a time, follow your heart to success. 

Going against the flow will be challenging at first. But the more you persist in your new direction the easier it becomes. Some days might be harder than others but on those days remember - you're trying to get to a better place. 

Don't quit. 

Soon you will see the horizon of your new shoreline and not long after that you will be walking on the warm sands of your heart's desire.
