Finish Strong

I'm a New Year's Resolutions kind of gal. I love making them and am actually pretty good about keeping most of them. I love how they help keep me focused so I can be intentional about reaching certain personal goals throughout the year.

The other day I came across my list, and after reading through it I began feeling a bit guilty about my lack of following through in a couple areas.

But then I realized that the year was not over yet and I could finish strong.

For example...

• I haven't practiced my violin regularly this year like I had hoped. But I have been playing every day this month.

• We don't have X amount of money in our savings like we had hoped. But I can get serious about it starting today. This will also help me reign in our spending during the holidays.

• I've not been very strict with myself when it comes to "one in, one out". But I can put that principle into practice for the rest of the year.

Although the reality of the year has been different than I had imagined, I can still be intentional about the final 6 weeks. I can finish strong.

How about you?
