Do you REALLY believe you can?

by Edie Melson @EdieMelson

We're coming to the end of the year, and with that a lot of us begin to evaluate how we've done. If you're like me, you'll tend to wait the failures heavier than the successes. When I do that, two things happen:
I get a lopsided view of the past year.I get discouraged because I'm not where I expected to be.Neither of these helps me enter the new year on an optimistic note. So before we get caught up in the things that didn't go well, I'd like to pose a question. 

Where are you headed, and how much closer to your goal are you than this time next year? 
Believe you can, and you're halfway there. Theodore Roosevelt



















Yes, you still have a hill to climb. But chances are, you're partway up. Don't beat yourself us because you haven't crested it yet. Take joy in what you have accomplished and adjust your goals accordingly.
