When you look at this -- what do you see?
As we are all start the New Year, what will you be focusing on? Will you be focusing on the black dot (the negativities, challenges and difficulties in your life)?
Most of us focus on the black dot in the center of a blank page and overlook the large white background. But when we shift our focus to the vast white space around the dot where we find the opportunities, friendships and blessings -- the possibilities for success are endless!
Our lives are like that piece of paper. Even though it is predominantly white, we spend much more time focusing on the black dot. Compared to everything we have in our lives, the black dot looks very small. Never let a black dot -- health issues, the lack of money, a complicated relationship or a job disappointment, dominate your thoughts and control your minds.
Looking beyond the black dot, we see our families, our friends and our jobs which provide for us, the freedoms we have living in America, and our bodies --which still function rather beautifully despite the trick age tries to play!
You are the author of your own story. This year, if you don't like the direction it's going you can end this chapter and begin a new one! What is your focus for 2025, going to be?
Always remember to appreciate the white spaces of your life and be grateful for the many blessings that you have.
As you say goodbye to 2024, celebrate the ending. Endings always offer new beginnings.
Embrace the potential of 2025, where every dream is within reach and every challenge is an opportunity to grow.
Happy New Year - 2025!
