At the beginning of each year, the majority of people make
resolutions. There are many jokes regarding how long these resolutions will be
kept. So often the resolution of New Year’s Eve is broken within a week.
While watching the Rose Parade this year, it dawned on me how
great the concept was by the founders of the parade. The longevity of the
parade to present day probably never entered the picture. It was a celebration
and a beautiful one. Friends and community with flowers, horses and carriages
were the start of it all. Anything this beautiful, creative and fun couldn’t
fail. It has now been embraced the world over.
In turn, a company like Hallmark Greeting Cards with its quest for
a quality greeting of good cheer reaching out to everyone has also been
received globally. Originating with verses and expanding to TV, featuring movies
with universal themes, has given Hallmark just over 100 years of success.
If you could make a difference that would last over a hundred
years, what would it be? What legacy would you like to leave to the next
generation? A single thought with a positive intent can last that long or
more…but what? Resolutions come and go, mostly because of short-term goals. A
positive thought and intention set beyond yourself, something to include
others, will gain more momentum. Where there is fun, laughter and good will,
the masses will surely follow and success be guaranteed. Who on Earth does not
want fun, laughter and good will in their life? I can’t think of a single soul.
How you wish to change the world is up to you.
