Happy New Year - Make 2010 Your Best Ever!

Today is the first day of 2010…did you stay up last night and ring in the New Year? I hate to admit it…but I was in bed…I know…sad right? I have never been much on ringing in the New Year…if I make it till midnight it is usually very low key and at home.

I love that people celebrate the New Year with hats, horns, music and fireworks…we love new beginnings, don’t we? It’s the chance for a ‘do over’…the chance to get rich this year…the opportunity to finally make it work… The New Year has always been a self inflicted dose of motivation for many, many people. It’s their chance of saying its okay to start over and I am going to do better this year!

I think we all agree that this New Year probably means more to us than most; Americans need a new year…we need a new start…its time to release all the negative that happened in 2009 and get everything back on track. I know many suffered great losses in 2009 and are still struggling and my prayers go out to them. I thank God everyday for my blessings and my life…my family who loves and supports me every single day…my friends who guide my direction, support my passions and love me without judgment and the people that I work with who care and make my work possible.

I hope you smile more this year…and laugh when you see something funny. Love more and be open to what comes your way. Don’t be afraid of being hurt or failing…if you love someone…tell them…if you need something…get it. 2010 is my year for being silly when I want to be and taking advantage of every single moment I have…what are you going to allow yourself this year?

So if you did make those New Years Resolutions for a new and improved year…stick with them this time…make 2010 a different year than any of the rest because I think that 2010 is going to be a special year for all of us!

New Year's Resolutions....I Don't Make Them!

I have never been one to make New Year’s Resolutions…my thought is why wait till the end of the year to make a change, improve your life or do something good? DO IT NOW!
If you create goals and you actually stick to them, then you know that your changes and decisions are always evolving on a daily, weekly, monthly and yearly basis. Decisions and changes are part of my everyday makeup…I make them all the time and so should you. If you wait till the end of the year to sit down and make resolutions you will be short changing yourself and your ability to accomplish bigger and better things quicker.

Now don’t get me wrong…there is nothing wrong with sitting down at the end of the year and reviewing goals for the past year and developing to tweaking 5 or 10 year goals but this process should always be ongoing. The only point I am trying to make here is…don’t wait till the end of the year to review, change, tweak or rework…when you know a change needs to be made do it then while its fresh in your mind.

If you are normally NOT a goal setter but create a big list of New Year’s Resolutions for the New Year…I can just about tell you that probably the biggest majority of them never see the light of day…why? Because if you are not prone to setting goals and using them as your blue print then you probably have a hard time making things happen.

Are you at a loss for how to set goals? Don’t fret…many people don’t know how or even know where to start. A friend of mine just recently turned me on to a new program called LifeBook. It’s a 4day program that will help you get started on creating your goal plans for all points in your life…from your career, financial and even your spiritual and health & fitness. They cover 12-categories that are essential in fulfilling all levels of your life.

Even though I am an avid goal setter this program looks really interesting to me…I may be checking this program out myself in 2010…how cool would it be to get away from life for 4-days and create the blue print for your life?
