20092010
ANYONE ELSE SURPRISED WHERE 2009 WENT?
I LOVE THIS TIME OF THE YEAR WHEN YOU CAN REFLECT ON WHAT YOU’VE ACCOMPLISHED IN THE PAST YEAR. WHERE YOU’VE BEEN, THE PEOPLE YOU’VE MET, PROJECTS YOU’VE WORKED ON, POUNDS YOU’VE GAINED, WISDOM RECEIVED AND PRICELESS MEMORIES WITH FRIENDS AND FAMILY.
I ALSO LOVE THIS TIME OF YEAR BECAUSE I CAN FOCUS ON WHAT I WANT TO ACCOMPLISH THIS YEAR. CLEAR YOUR MIND, REORGANIZE YOUR THOUGHTS, ASSESS YOUR GOALS AND MAKE PLANS ON HOW YOUR GOING TO ACHIEVE THEM.
YOU COULD CALL SETTING GOALS AND MAKING PLANS “SPIRITUAL CREATION.” AS OF YET THEY DON’T EXIST PHYSICALLY BUT YOU CAN SEE IT IN YOUR MIND’S EYE. YOU LAYOUT THE BLUEPRINT TO THE HOUSE OF YOUR DREAMS IN YOUR HEAD AND ON PAPER.
THE “PHYSICAL CREATION” IS WHEN YOU START GOING OUT AND BUYING THE SUPPLIES, GETTING THE PEOPLE TO WORK ON IT, AND START LAYING THE FOUNDATION. AND SLOWLY THE HOUSE THAT WASN’T THERE BEFORE IS STARTING TO TAKE SHAPE. WE REALIZE THAT OUR DREAMS AND THOUGHTS START TO HAVE SUBSTANCE WHEN WE TAKE ACTION.
OF COURSE THE EASIEST PART OF THIS PROCESS IS WRITING ALL THE THINGS THAT WE WANT TO ACCOMPLISH DOWN. THE HARDEST PART IS GOING THROUGH WITH IT. BUT THERE’S SOMETHING THAT CAN HELP WITH THAT. TELLING PEOPLE WHAT YOU WANT TO ACHIEVE, BECAUSE THEY’LL HOLD YOU TO IT.
ONE OF MY GOALS IS TO KEEP A BLOG OF WHAT’S GOING ON IN MY LIFE ONCE A WEEK. AND HOPEFULLY WHEN MARCH, JUNE AND SEPTEMBER COME I’LL STILL DOING IT. I’M ALSO HOPING I CAN KEEP IT INTERESTING A ENOUGH SO THAT PEOPLE WILL WANT TO CHECK IT WEEKLY.
2009 WAS AN AMAZING YEAR, BUT I 2010 IS GOING TO BLOW IT OUT OF THE WATER!
WORDS OF WISDOM TO LET MARINATE IN YOU HEAD:
* “ TO ACHIEVE GOALS YOU’VE NEVER REACHED, YOU HAVE TO DO THINGS YOU’VE NEVER DONE.”
* “ NO GAINS WITHOUT PAINS.”
* “ DISCIPLINE IS THE BRIDGE BETWEEN DREAMS AND REALITY.”
