This is the time of year that we decide to do something(s) that perhaps we have neglected. I belong to a health club. Each year at this season, lasting until the first of March, people crowd the place. Each of them has decided to get that weight off, get in shape or some other goal. By the end of March, most of these will be gone. They will have decided to not do it once in a while. The scene sets up like this. The first couple weeks of the year, they only miss once. Perhaps by the end of January, they have only skipped three times. However, the trend is set and by the end of February they are going once or twice a week. After all, things crowd in and sometimes you can’t do it. So, it goes. By March they have quit until next January 1. Elbert Hubbard at one time said, “It does not take much strength to do things, but it requires great strength to decide on what to do.” This applies to everything we do. Each day we make decisions. Each day we make choices that we will live with for a while, perhaps for the rest of our days. The way to create a healthy habit is to avoid making an exception.
Love, Coach Charles
