When our computers get bogged down and unmanageable, we know to hit a reset button to simply start over. Wouldn’t a reset button be great in life?
New years is that opportunity for many. Perhaps you read about the giant shredder that they set up for “Good Riddance Day” in New York City’s Times Square. People could bring any bad memories they wanted to shred, to start fresh in 2014.
That’s small scale, though. We know it would be complicated, with all our responsibilities and routines to consider, but imagine the freedom and refreshment of a new start in life! What would you do differently? What would you pay more attention to, and what would you ignore? How would you avoid getting bogged down and broken again?
Question: If you could reset something, or everything in life, what would it be? What’s stopping you?

I'm sure you've seen the posters: Keep Calm and Carry On
Have you seen the story of the poster & slogan? Check it out here if you haven't: https://vimeo.com/48907330
It's so popular, they say here, because it's a simple, warm-hearted line to inspire confidence in others in hard times.
It's a memorable one-liner, meant to help people get through a war – a time where nothing is familiar, everything changing and dangerous.
Life can still be like that – maybe why people love this poster so much.
I did a Google search and found all sorts of people offering up their one liner for life. My favourite online life motto: Don't reduce your life to a sentence
We'll see tomorrow how Jesus summed up his teaching in the Sermon on the Mount with a one-liner.
Question: What is your guiding principle in life?
