It seems to me that there is only one time a year where almost everyone will commit to "change." It comes in the form of a New Year's Resolution. The problem is this: the resolution becomes nothing more than a great idea for the holidays with no comittment and no attachment. There are no sustainable habits which are created to maintain the motivation needed to support long lasting change.
Was 2012 all you hoped it would be? Did you achieve everything you set out to do last New Year? Are you serving your life sentence? My guess would be that for most of you...maybe a little...and others...not so much. So, what is the solution? I won't give it all away just yet, however, I will give you a "teaser."
First things first...it all starts with YOU! You need to be present and ready to change. Are you present?
The second thing is to figure out what it is you are passionate about? By passionate...I mean what do you LOVE!? Not like...LOVE!
When you've figured that out, the third thing is to make the connection to WHY? If you have a compelling reason why that truly means something to you...then the fourth step is easy. Ready for it? The fourth step is to get up off your ass and do something about it! Yup, that's right...I said it...get up off that kiester take action!
Now, there is a lot more to this than just turning a great idea into a single action. It's about turning those actions into permanent habits and actions that consistently keep you moving forward.
We're not getting any younger...the days aren't getting any longer. You are blessed to be given each day to use for it as you wish. The actions that you are taking should be dictated...not by the present...but rather by a vision of something greater that supports YOUR higher purpose. Acknowledge it. Believe it. Know it. Will it. In the end...proudly be able to say...I AM...and USE IT! Bring on 2013!
