Someone recently asked me, “If you could change something about yourself, what would it be?”. After some deep thought and a long pause, I replied, “I really don’t know”. By no means do I think I’m perfect, but at that moment I just couldn’t think of an area of my life that I felt like I needed to fix. After more careful deliberation and sleeping on the subject, I found my answer to the question…Everything.

There is not one area in my life that I am completely satisfied with, and I never will be. That is because like you all, I am and always will be a work in progress. No matter how much I change and grow, I can always be better. I can always do more, give more and love more. We all know that we can be better, but we rarely take the time to figure out how. Now that the new year is almost upon us, I want to share a few short tips on how you can be B.E.T.T.E.R in 2015.

Be the change you want to see in the world.

It all starts with you.

Encourage yourself always.

Self love is the best love.

Throw away all of your baggage.

What good is dead weight anyway?

Treat yourself sometimes.

Because you deserve it…

Entrust God to guide your way.

He will NEVER steer you wrong.

Realize that you are blessed.

All day. Every day.

I hope this blesses you and encourages you as you go into your new year. Please feel free to share this and include your personal tips for becoming better.
