Welcome to 2006!

A new year.
Another 365 days have come and gone.
Another tick on age-o-meter.
A few more gray hairs (for some of us).

What do the next 365 days have in store?

I'm excited about what 2006 holds. I came across this quote this morning:

"Do one thing every day that scares you."

Eleanor Roosevelt

I like this. I like it for a number of reasons.

First, it implies risk. If you don't attempt anything that's bigger than you, then you will most likely be content on the simple path of life and provision. But, to dream big, to envision beyond, to see things with the eyes of faith, then you will do great things. It starts with what you believe. If you believe, anything is possible.

Secondly, fear itself will hinder your life if you listen to it. If you obey fear, then it will become your master. "You are a slave to whatever controls you" (an epistle of Peter). If fear says, "Don't do this," and you obey it, then fear is your master. It will control you. It will demand from you things you don't want to do. So the response to this is: do it afraid.

This year, my partner and I are launching a new media and marketing agency, MorrisonPond, Inc. We're not sure what lies ahead, but my partner and I are very excited about the opportunities. Very excited!

Both of us are men of vision. We see beyond ourselves. We help clients see beyond themselves. We help them fulfill dreams, conquer their fears, move to the next level and challenge the status quo.

How can we do all that? Because we are doing it ourselves.
