Here's a powerful lesson I learnt recently.
You own your feelings, your feelings do not own you.
I hope this lesson remains true to me throughout this year - that even if I don't feel like putting on my running shoes and going out for a sweat, even if I want to throw a tantrum, even if I can't be bothered picking up a book to read, even if quiet time is difficult to achieve, even if my selfish desires get the better of me, even if I get patients who are difficult, demanding and ungrateful.. my feelings do not own me and I can be stronger than their dictations.
And from first reaching that victory in my mind, I can set off to live in the fullness of all that today has to offer.
