THRIVING Melanin Family Magazine January 2017: New Year New THRIVE | Page 4

LETTER FROM THE FOUNDER

It’ s a new year and this is typically the time we make our New Year Resolutions! We generally take a few moments and say this is the year I will... And as usual by March most of the resolutions we made are out the window. Why do we continue this cycle year after year? Honestly, because we need more than resolutions we need convictions and not convictions just on big ideas but convictions to our daily choices that will truly create the change we want. We’ ve got to reprogram our daily addictions so that they become our new life convictions therefore creating our New Year New THRIVE!
Every year we should reassess the last and make decisions on what to change, what to do more of, how to be better but the truth is:
1. End of year shouldn’ t be the only time you do this. You should reasses at least 3 times a year.
2. You’ ve got to do more than assess. You’ ve got to be honest about where you’ ve fallen short. You’ ve got to stop sugar coating your actions with excuses.
3. You’ ve got to make clear choices and not just once but every single day.
4. You’ ve got to do the work not just the surface work to achieve your goals but the deep down mind shifting life changing work.
