Is there anyone in the story of your life that you have put in the “One Day” chapter? One day he or she will like me better. one day they will come back and apologize, one day the relationship will get better, one day I will make it and they will see, one day, one day, one day. Welcome to “One Day.” Today is your day to do something about the situation. Someone once said that people come into your life for a reason, a season or a lifetime and we get into trouble trying to keep people in our lives who were only meant to be there for a season or a reason. If they can walk away from you that only means their part in your story is over." These words can be empowering if we let them, they keep us from blaming ourselves if a relationship doesn’t work. We can be free to let our lives take another direction, when someone walks away from us, as long as we understand that this is just the chapter where they were meant to leave.

It’s time for us to be free, so let’s start 2020 with being real. Let’s put a period on the last sentence of that chapter and turn the page. It is time to start a new paragraph in a new chapter – a better chapter of life.

3.Be Authentic.

We need to be who we are, where ever we are in life. We can only continue the façade for so long before the real us emerges. At some point, someone will see us for not being the person they thought we were and they just may call us on our fakeness. Each of us is unique anyway, and there is no one else in this world with our particular DNA, (not even if we are an identical twin). We are so unique that even our fingerprints betray us. If there was someone who could do what we as individuals were called to do, why would we have been created? Nothing is more impressive than a person who is secure in the unique way God made them. We were all born an original, let us not die a copy. 4.Challenge Yourself –

If we live our lives in vanilla, we bore ourselves. We have to get out of the state of complacency. If our lives are dull, it may be helpful to shake things up. We need to push ourselves out of our comfort zones on a regular basis. We shouldn’t hold ourselves back because we are afraid, or because we have failed in the past. We already have our big girl panties on, we just need to pull them up and try again! Never stop learning. we should set the bar high for ourselves, take the road less traveled and stop hiding within the crowd. We should do something different every day, especially if it scares us. When we do that we will grow inside without even realizing it. If we ever let our heads down, let it be just to admire our shoes.
