Bernard Meltzer wonders...

"There is no better exercise for your heart, Than reaching down and helping to lift someone up."

Horace Greely wonders...

"The way to do things is to begin."

Marianne Williamson wonders...

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be?..."

What I Wonder...

(NOTE: Yes, I wrote any captions you see in this video. It's called self-deprecation, and it's mostly a healthy thing (I think!).)


As I say in the new year resolution quotes video above, I think inspirational quotations can serve as a powerful reminder - a reminder that encourages us to resolve to change..

But it is important, though, to recognise the self-sabotaging forces that quite often try to prevent us from succeeding, as well as also recognising our real reasons for setting the new year resolution in the first place...

Bernard Meltzer's inspirational quote is a fantastic encouragement for us all to take up the cause of volunteering.

Whether that be volunteering in our local community, or for a national cause, or even whether it simply means caring for a loved one in need of such care.

Volunteering is a great way to go, and this is one new year resolution I intend to make for the coming new year.

As for Horace Greely's inspirational quotation and to go about achieving your new year goals (e.g. volunteering, starting something new - joining a band, for me, and doing stand up comedy), well it all begins by...

Taking

a

first

step

Nothing hard about doing that. Is there?


As for powerful words of Marianne Williamson, well these words probably sum up the reason why we often make new year resolutions and then break our new year resolutions.

We self-sabotage, clearly, and get in the way of ourselves.

All to stop us facing how truly great we are.

What a shame.

But it really doesn't have to stay like this.

"Oh - yes - it - does!" I hear you thinking...

"Oh no it doesn't!" :-)

That's what I say, anyway, about making new year's resolutions, about these new year inspirational quotes. How about you?

What new year resolutions are you actually going to make this year? And what inspirational quotes are you going to use to encourage you to stick to them?

Yep, as ever, I'd love to hear your wisdom, your thoughts! :-)

Thanks for reading,
