Last year was probably extremely tough for many of you. For others it may have seemed like a blur that saw no real investment of time or effort, only expenditure.
Seeing another year arrive today - with no idea what it may hold - may be a bit daunting. But life doesn't really come to us in years. It comes to us in moments. Mostly in mundane daily routine and ongoing maintenance and re-doing things and re-fighting battles we've re-done and re-fought a thousand times before.
All we have within our control is our response to each moment, our dedication to incremental improvement in wisdom, joy, and faith. We can see it as either monotony or opportunity. We're not going to roll out of bed tomorrow and be 100% better. Some days our progress may not even be evident. On others we may lose ground. But we cannot quit. We don't always have the strength in ourselves to keep going. But we can receive the strength from outside ourselves!
In repetition, we can develop discipline. In repetition, we can evolve expertise. In repetition, we can receive refinement. Get up again. Go out again. Live it again. Do it again. DO IT AGAIN!
This video is an AWESOME illustration of that principle.
