Happy New Years,
You may have awakened this morning thinking, "It's 2010 already?! Where did 2009 go?"
So I encourage you to think about exactly how you spent the past 12 months.
I'm sure there are many things you have to be proud of. Work accomplishments. Personal successes.
But as you look back at all you did in 2009... do you have any regrets?
Any goals you were unable to accomplish? Any resolutions you made last January that fell by the wayside? Any objectives you wanted to meet... but just didn't get around to?
If you're like most people, you'll have at least one disappointment. This is, after all, the fate of the high achiever. You set lofty goals for yourself. You have high expectations.
But then the rest of your life somehow gets in the way... and you come to the beginning of a new year feeling disappointed... filled with regret and even embarrassment that you were unable to follow through.
Wouldn't you prefer to start the brand new year with the feeling that your life is moving forward? With the knowledge that you are happier? That you are more confident in your interactions with others? That you have more purpose?
Best of all, wouldn't you like to start the new year feeling relaxed? Able to enjoy your life, secure in the confidence that you had made significant strides to accomplishing all of your dreams?
You can have all these things. You can accomplish your dreams. You can live the life you want for yourself.
I know that it's odd, at the dawn of 2010, to think ahead to next year. But you know as well as I do that 2011 will be here before you know it.
Wouldn't you like to wake up next January 1, knowing exactly where the time went... satisfied that you spent every moment of the year in the best and most useful way... confident that every day you took action that moved you closer to the life of your dreams?
