"Character is the ability to carry out a good resolution long after the excitement of the moment has passed." -- Cavett Robert
I recently read this quote by Mr Robert (the man who founded the National Speaker's Association) on Success Magazine's facebook page. I think the main reason this spoke to me was because we're now mid-way through January. New Year's resolutions aren't at the forefront of our mind any longer, but they are still kind of fresh. The joy that comes with anticipating a fresh start, or making a positive change, is one that may have diminished, but it doesn't have to fizzle out. So while this last week may have been a bust, it doesn't mean you've blown it. It just means you have a new opportunity to get up and start again. Have character. Keep going.
I've got some specific things in mind as I write this. Some more significant than others, but all that have meaning for me in some way, big or small. What about you?
