Out With the Old, In With the New!!

Oprah has recently launched the beginning of her final season hosting her daytime talk show "The Oprah Winfrey Show". After 25 years, countless guest, trails and triumphs, Oprah is ready to begin a new chapter in her life. Maybe she might settle down in some town, travel or just keep busy with her new network, OWN. Whatever her decision, it'll be worth while because she's choosing her own path. Just like Oprah, someone today is closing a new chapter in their life and embracing the new. Of course its not ever easy to walk away from something you've been so familiar with for years. Day after day, you've stuck to your routine and accepted your life as it is. But what will happen if you decided you might need a change? Out with the old, in with the new! Yeah right! Well, its not that simple. In fact fear so many times grips us before we are able to take the first step towards a better tomorrow. Of course we have hope and like our President says "the audacity of hope". This hope is what propels us forward. We have hope that though we might be comfortable with how things are today, some where we know we can be better, do better and that we need better. This was in many ways what caused Neo to take the red pill...he saw that if there was a greater reality he wanted to be a part of it. The decision belongs to no one else but us. We have the keys to our own destiny and are the most influential person in our lives. So maybe today for you it's starting the weight loss plan you've put off for months, starting a saving account or watching less t.v. Or could it be that daycare or beauty salon you've always wanted to start? Maybe its your book that you've began writing, titled and outlines written, but it remains on the shelf. OK, let's get real! No more excuses...time waits for no one. You have within you hidden talents, gifts and resources from God that the world is waiting for. You are the next New York Times Bestselling writer, the fashion designer to be reckoned with or the next talk show host. Whatever your calling...step out just like Peter and begin to walk on water. Of course, doubt may rear its ugly head but the hope inside of you is greater than anything. You might be a bit late for Spring cleaning but this can't wait! From now on...Its out with the old and in with the new you!!
