Be a Better Person Everyday
On New Year's Eve, I sat down, reflected upon 2008, and thought about what I would like to achieve in 2009. I wrote down a few goals, which I won't share here because they are very personal. However, a few days ago, someone shared a great adage with me, "Become a better person everyday".
That is essentially my goal for 2009. And I want to remember that everyday. Instead of setting lofty, vague goals, I want to aspire to better myself in some form daily. That way, I am not wasting a single day that God has given me. That way, I may actually be happier to account to God for my life at the end of it.
It's also like another old saying "Be the change you want to see". Instead of complaining about others and the world, I want to work on the same flaws in me. I want to be a better me.
I want to be a better Christian everyday. I want to be better at loving God, and better at loving people. On a daily basis, I will seek God, and I will walk closer with Him.
"Be very careful, then, how you live -- not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil. Therefor do not be foolish, but understand what the Lord's will is." Ephesians 5:15-17
