The last few days of the year really present us with the opportunity to begin planning and projecting what and how the coming year will be like.
One of the reasons the end of any year catches some people unawares is because they didn’t start the year early or well. So, by the time it is the middle of the year or third quarter of the year, they then begin to ask themselves where the days, months went to. You then begin to hear things like how time flies.
This then triggers the fire brigade approach just to ensure that they at least hit some set goals before the year ends. This approach strains us, stresses us, and gets us feeling kind of overwhelmed. Year in, year out we don’t get to achieve much and this seems to be the status quo.
I know you are tired of this pattern and really desire to grow and achieve your goals. You really want change but you do not know how to go about it. You desire to be more, to do more, and have more but then you have been getting the same results every year.
Here is what you should do friend, just START WELL!
Starting the year well is entirely dependent on you. You are the singular determining factor of your outcome. I want you to critically think about this: Of what purpose is a new year, new resolutions, new goals, new wishes, new dreams without a new you.
A new year is influenced by your plan, the people around you, and how you position yourself. A new year requires a great planned beginning. Remember they say if you fail to plan, then you have planned to fail. Planning is key.
This plan is what will position you to meet the kind of people who will help you, support you and encourage you to achieve your set goals. What exactly is the juice of life without accomplishments? Accomplishments give you personal fulfillment, pride, and joy.
Honestly, time is life. There is no time to waste living life in circles or chasing small dreams or achieving uninspiring goals. Do yourself a favor to ask for help in living the life of your dream, ask a mentor or life coach and start working on your plans as soon and as best as you can.
As a quote I read somewhere; “Early is on time and on time is now.”
The best time is now to start your new year well and great. Do what you must friend and ensure you are starting well.
Love is all I have,
