I know we are in a time that we can do everything on our laptops, our smart phones, our iPads, and all other sorts of devices. We can write ourselves notes, fill in our daily calendar, journal, read our books, instant message, email, text and so much more. However, there are some things that I just refuse to give up – my journal and my Franklin Covey planner. To me, there is nothing like opening my brand new journal and writing my thoughts, feelings, and emotions. I also love putting my new planner pages into my binder and filling it up with my classes, my appointments, important dates, and my “to-dos” .
That is how I choose to look at each new year – it’s a brand new year filled with blank pages and I get to choose how I fill those pages. I get to write my own book this year – no one else writes it for me. No matter what happens, I choose my reaction. I get to choose my emotion. I get to choose life, hope, trust, joy, contentment. I’m excited about this book of blank pages that is before me. I don’t want to live with regrets so I choose to take risks, to say “yes” more often, to travel new roads, to believe that anything is possible and that there are no limits except those I set for myself. I plan on writing a good book in 2013. What will you do with your blank pages?
