Three Ways to Start Fresh… January 1, 2015

Dream and scheme.
It is the dual approach used in the United States by those who are pursuing success.
We are told to have “big dreams” and be prepared to scheme our way into the marketplace using cunning–everything short of illegality.
The pundits of this philosophy sit back and smirk at its ambiguity. In other words, how realistic are dreams and how proficient is it to scheme for what we want?
The “dream and scheme” tactic is not only inefficient but also dangerous–inefficient because it leaves us at the mercy of hope, and dangerous because we are tempted to cheat.
As we begin the New Year, we often have the sensation of wanting to improve our lives. But dreams put us to sleep, threatening nightmares, and scheming puts us in a competitive arena with those who may be more ruthless.
Here’s how you can start fresh:
1. Don’t fret over what you haven’t done.
There’s a reason for it. Don’t study the reasons so much. The past only gives you a certain amount of input before it turns into a nagging mistress.
2. Set your aspirations based on what you can do instead of what you want to do.
If you’ve never done it before, although you tried, your next attempt will probably be no more illustrious. Instead, winnow down your talents to those you can perform when sick, inspired, depressed, under pressure or handicapped. After all, these are your gifts. Use them well.
3. Don’t blame anyone.
That includes yourself. Circumstances always arise to bring tribulation. We have two defenses against such onslaught:
A. Count the cost.
In other words, don’t budget in what you don’t have. Only consider what’s available.
B. Be of good cheer.
And here is my definition of good cheer:
Nothing happens until I show up. Nothing is over until I give up.
If you will escape the “dream and scheme” apparition which is haunting our culture, you can begin a fresh, new life–working with your abilities, doing what you can do, and not taking things so personally.
