Wednesday Morning, 12/31/2014 11:12 AM As another calendar year winds down to a new one in a few hours; some have taken the time to evaluate many things in their life. • Was this year a better one than last? • Did I fulfill the resolutions made on January 1rst? • Did I accomplish the personal goals set during the year? • Did I become the better man and woman, husband, wife or parent I intended? • Did I set a course that will create a better tomorrow, or did essentially go through the motions of life again, as the year(s) before? The year 2014 for me, is not what FB created in my Year in Review. As I viewed what they had compiled of me, thought it something that an ignant would create. Non-illustrative photos depicting little more than a snapshot of a particular event, created at the moment I took them, not anything planned as something from 5 minutes before I did. I accomplished much this year. Virtually everything that I planned on January 1, and even before. It was a year that has coursed exactly how I knew it would. Not because of anything I did, but the trends I saw occurring a long time ago. Each day there was a purposeful plan. Each article and topic was not well thought out, but placed purposely with fashion as it should be. Because that is what life brings. Moments strung together, many times in a very spontaneous way. Consistency is only as good as the proficiency you apply. A habit is a consistent conduct and one that is nurtured for a great long time in many. However, does a habit ever make a person more proficient and efficient in the end analysis? I have come to realize that each thing I do, is because of a well thought and constructed plan from someone; even though it was not me. I can see the hand and design in all things; when it comes to MY LIFE. How about yours? As my year wound down, I also noted that the topics were actually creating a crescendo; peaking at the right time. One on top of another through the year, topics of discussion were posed. Allowing me to comment, and hopefully you to evaluate. As I view others, I see many processes in play. Who exactly is your leader? I have to ask that, because I see many putting forth effort in something extreme or extravagant; yet uncertain who and what is advising you or delivered command. These people know what I am speaking about, because their movements are well defined and purposeful; telling me there might be a hierarchical chain of command. Are they giving you the best of advice as you can see, and will it continue into the year 2015 as it did this year? The other day someone intimated, We will follow your lead. O really, because no one has so far that I can see. I am an Angel. We dont lead except our own. And what makes us good is we see our assignments through; because we are taught anything less is not befitting in the best of Angels. No matter the assignment, small or large, they all have to be completed for them to be considered a success. I happen to belong to that group of Angels, who are always looking for better ways to do things. Striving for perfection, even before protection. Looking for angles which have been missed; but can still be utilized if properly formatted. Realizing and knowing the fruit of our labors are not always immediately seen; yet may in the years to follow. In other words, I follow the signs as I was instructed and commands are virtually non-existent, because I am process oriented. That is one of my gifts. Being process oriented does not allow minutiae rule the day or bog me down. However, also know that I ultimately answer to someone. And I welcome that exchange, because doing the right thing rarely needs an explanation. Even though some require an answer. However, I do not see anyone here who seems too concerned about following my recommendations; yet want to follow my lead. That type of schizophrenia is becoming commonly placed; however to me displaced. Why? Because we each have different roles, and mine calls for me to pull out all stops. If not to correct, then to at least demonstrate the recommendations came; but were ignored. The year 2015 is mere hours away, and that is all it will be for me as well. Because I don’t view days, weeks, months and years as anything more than an extension of the one previous. Even though Facebook has been only one very small chapter in my life, it played a VERY IMPORTANT part in what I was to accomplish and when. As the new year opens, my account will remain open. That is so I can keep abreast of what is transpiring with those in my life I consider special and privileged from this end to share experience. Over the next few weeks, I will go back to Day 1 on my account, and remove many items of discussion; and nonsensical things that still remain. Essentially leaving a snap shot of my view on most things. Simple yet amusing, educational and informative, demonstrating portions of life that mean much to this man. Which also helped to shape what I have shared. My sincere hope for each of you, is that the year 2015 turns out to be something you always desired. • If it is something you have strived to accomplish, hopefully your diligence and commitment will pay off. • If it is still a work in progress, I would hope that you continue on and not allow discouragement ride along with you. • If it is the start of something new, may it be one that helps you grow as a better person. • If it is not one that you will start until January passes, just remember that one day rolls into the next; and one month gone by only means another waits as an extension later on. Time is what you make of it, but once gone will never be reclaimed again. I have come to learn that life and living is a continuum, not a destination. But whatever you do, recognize who is leading you. Ensure that person or principle is sound in all things. Hoping for the best in you always, and not just one day. If they are not making you a better person, maybe the signs you are following, or the commands, requires you to recalibrate your GPS. More than anything, make each day and decision count for something. It has been a good year. Certainly not my best, but crafted perhaps better than all of them previous. That comes from good Leadership, not by individual accomplishment.
