Well, the holidays are over, almost. I hope everyone is having a great one so far. I can’t complain too much. All things considered, so far, so good. I stated before that we here in the Resound and Rebel household, had an event that almost threw a monkey wrench in the holidays, and just life.

As the year nearly comes to an end, I get to think back on a lot of things. I look back and see the rights, the wrongs, and all the in betweens. At the end I also get to grade myself and my life…..and believe me, I am my worst critic…..dare say BRUTAL.

“When misfortune has thrown us a curveball, and the tentacles of desperation are freezing our mind, foreshadowing a hustle-bustle of confusion, we must inflame the power of our imagination. Let us take a walk on the path of groundbreaking change, take daring initiatives, and create a scheme of inventive intentions, gradually paving the way to a new setting, assessing each stage thoughtfully. (“Check and mate”)”― Erik Pevernagie

So amongst the rubble, literally and figuratively, it’s normal to take a look at the past…..dwelling on it is one of the trip ups we face. As for me, it always seems like I’m tripping over the past. The falling and failing is easy, it’s the getting back up…Things still seem out of order or out of place, but that’s not permanent. We have the power to change that.

So, just need to look back, reflect, and not forget to turn around and move forward. Take the mistakes or mis-steps which there will be, and learn from them. Program yourself to advance an be a better person, husband, father, son….MAKE it a good day.
