This post is actually taken from my company’s FB page, where a paid boost was denied. I read it again and again and couldn’t really find what the “infraction” was, so I let it go without changes, or boost. When editing becomes blatant censorship based on one individual’s interpretation of understandings, freedom of speech goes out the door.
These
are the rules supposedly broken by the piece, which is really a year end note
and a wish for a better new year…
“Policy

And here is the post.
THE
END OF A SINGULAR YEAR.
We are but two days away from turning the page on the year 2020. For many, this has been a difficult year, and with plenty of reasons, to say the least.
But, when facing difficulties, we have to stand tall and find the opportunities. Because they are there. I know many who have done their best, changing lifestyle and work routines. Others have found work where there was none before. Yet, far too many are still facing difficulties that have not been overcome ... yet.
When facing a new year, we all make promises to ourselves and to the world. Promises which often are not kept or are kept half way. Usually because they are promises of "doing better", "losing/gaining weight", "improving life" etc.
These
are far too loose, have no measurable results.
So
…
How much weight do you want to lose?
How are you going to do it?
When will you start??
How
are you going to "do better"?
What
do you mean by that?
How
will you accomplish it?
When?
Like with all else in life, it is better to have two well thought out "promises" which then become "commitments" and which you can supervise, measure and accomplish, than many which are just "feel good" promises.
Does this sound harsh? Perhaps it is. But it is real.
Define what and where you want to be, then make yourself the promise that you will do what needs to be done in order to get there. Do it in writing, with details, then share it with the person(s) who will be there with you, so they can give you strength and help you get there.
You now have a commitment. To yourself and to those whom you love. Your chances of actually doing what you promise to do, have been multiplied tenfold.
You can do it!! There is nothing that says that a difficult year cannot be overcome and be followed by a great year, on all levels.
Make 2021 the BEST year ever for you and your loved ones.
We will be here to help you along, as much as we can.
But,
remember, we can only push, YOU have to do it!!!
HAPPY AND BLESSED NEW YEAR TO YOU AND YOURS!!
MAY IT BE THE BEST YEAR EVER!!!
