Happy New Year Happy New You 2007-01
For most people the new year comes with a new promise to ourselves to actually do what we wanted to last year and the year before that, but for some reason or another ( Usually I call these reasons Life Stuff or just plain Procrastination) we haven’t done it yet or we started it but didn’t stick with it.
I think the first problem is simple we are waiting until the end of the year to make these decisions about what it is we want to do – How silly is that? How many people out there know what there New Years resolution is before New Years? Right. Most of us do – so why wait until New Years? If there is something you want to make happen stop waiting and well like Nike says JUST DO IT!
Okay so now you are doing it like Nike says but what is going to keep you doing it on the days when nothing is going your way, its cold outside and that cinnamon roll is looking like a better breakfast than your eggs and oatmeal? What is it that is going to keep you at your desk finishing all that paperwork when the only thing you want to do is be at the gym or go outside and play? The Answer: Think about why we get up every morning at the crack of dawn to make ourselves a healthy breakfast and hit the gym, think about why it is so important to get that paperwork on our desks processed and out of the way. Break it down a level – why is because we want to be fit and healthy, why is because we want to have our financial houses in order. Break it down even further – why is because you want to run and complete your first 1/2 marathon, why is because you want to have money for your Childs education. We do what we do because we have goals and as long as we can see them clearly nothing stands in our way. “Obstacles are those frightening things you see when you take your eyes off your goal”, Henry Ford. Point is that when you really truly want something you will find a way to get there and make it happen. So what is it that you really want? Find it? Good. Now go and get it!
