I look out the window and see that its still dark as most things have not quite gotten started yet. I am wide awake and reflecting a little about what the tomorrow days means. Normally, this time of year most of us are focused on firming up our New Years Resolutions as we say good-bye to another year.
For the last several days, I am sure you haven’t been able to turn on the television or read a newspaper without a mention of what has happened during the last decade. Yes, this isn’t just the end of a year, this marks the end of a decade.
For me personally, I know that a lot has happened over the course of this decade. I believe that I have grown considerably over the last ten years as I have graduated from college, started a career, relocated several times, and become a wonderful uncle.
I am sure we can all take a peek back at the last ten years to see the many changes in the world and our personal lives.
How have you grown over the last decade? What have you learned over the last 10 years? How has the last decade prepared you for the future?
It’s a great time to reflect not just on the passing of another year, but on the last ten years to appreciate where you have come from. Many blessings to you as we prepare to close out ‘09 and usher in 2010.
“When planning for a year, plant corn. When planning for a decade, plant trees. When planning for life, train and educate people.”
-Chinese Proverb
“Once you have mastered time, you will understand how true it is that most people overestimate what they can accomplish in a year - and underestimate what they can achieve in a decade!”
-Anthony Robbins
“Let us be about setting high standards for life, love, creativity, and wisdom. If our expectations in these areas are low, we are not likely to experience wellness. Setting high standards makes every day and every decade worth looking forward to.”
-Greg Anderson
