2020
A New Year is upon us. It's time to let go! Let go of the past mistakes, failures, folly, and most important, our fear. It is time to start anew, no matter what has happened, let it go and move forward.
As trite as it may sound, "Today is the first day of the rest of your life."
Today is the day to start setting and working toward your goals and your dreams, and I mean the big ones. There is no need to be sheepish, besides, what are you waiting for? A better time? A better day? A better economy? That's a sucker's bet. Start now! TODAY!
You may think, "It isn't the right time, the perfect time." Truth is, it never is; but now is only the time you have. So what are you waiting for?
Tips to help you succeed in 2020 and beyond:
- Write your dreams, goals, and the steps you plan to take to achieve them.
- Make a vision board -- a picture of your dreams and success.
- This is CRUCIAL...find a goal buddy, or accountability partner; how about a tough one who will push you, maybe an ex-Marine Drill Instructor.
- Find a mentor.
- Hire a coach.
- Invest in you...it is the best money you will ever spend.
- Realize that everyone feels fear, and that is where most people stop, when they feel fear.
- Also, remember that most of the time big goals scare the crap out of us, so even though you may dream big, you can START Small. Don't overwhelm yourself. Just, and this is important, keep moving, because persistence and sustainability are the most important ingredients to any endeavor.
John Wooden, the famous basketball coach, had his own definition for success; "Success is peace of mind attained only through self-satisfaction in knowing you made the effort to become the best of which you are capable."
And remember, life begins at the end of your comfort zone...
Have a HAPPY, HEALTHY, and PROSPEROUS 2020... I know you can and will Find A Way .
