As we limp into this new year, let us all be grateful that we made it - at least one more year. Sure, the economy isn't great, the outlook is dim, and Madoff is living in his $7 million penthouse while awaiting trial. Exactly, life is not fair, but what can you do? There really aren't many options beside moving forward the best we can.
Life never was and never will be fair. However, with the beginning of a new year we get an opportunity to set new goals, work a little harder and be a little better. With everyone working toward simple goals like that the overall effect could be astounding. As a mix between the "Butterfly Effect" and "The Golden Rule" each one of us can make a difference. Admit it, when you do something good for someone else or accomplish a goal you feel good about it and it tends to rub off. Can you imagine if we were all able to do this on a consistent basis? Wow, what a year we'd have.
So, how 'bout it folks? Can we make '09 a good one? It seems very easy to me. Sure, there will be setbacks and disappointments, but if we deal with them appropriately we'll be much happier. Let us all make a difference this year. Be kind to your neighbor, your dog, and whoever else crosses your path. Work hard, play hard, and go the extra mile to provide some service to the less fortunate. 2009 will be a better year thanks to you.
