To The New Year

 

A whole new year is at our footsteps.  A chance for fresh starts, new beginnings, renewals, and all the goodness that is encompassed in those things.

Be bold this year.  Be you this year. Do what you love, follow your passion, chase after your dream like it’s the only thing left in this world.

Don’t let this be another year of empty resolutions. Be excited but also have a plan.  Because by the time February rolls around all those resolutions will be a distant memory as you watch your fellow coworkers gorging on donuts, and the soda machine calls your name.

So write down your goals, post them in your house, in your car.  Get a notepad whether on your phone, tablet, or the old fashioned version, and write down everything you do in a week, what goals you met, what ones you didn’t, this will help when you want to give up because you will have some progress to measure.

Also don’t be discouraged by lack of results.  Normally when you throw yourself into something, you have some good results right off the bat, then you plateau a little bit and the results are not as easy to see.  This is normal and okay, but again, be prepared for it and plan.  When you hit that point where you are not seeing results, remind yourself that it is a normal part of the process, and only long term determination will get you to the next level.

This is your year, you have the ability to take it by the horns and own it.  It’s all in your mind, determine you can, and everything will fall into place.

Happy New Years and I look forward to blogging with you all in 2015.
