It is that time of year when lots of people think between 11:59 p.m. on 12/31 and 12:01a.m. on 1/1, they can change their lives with those magical “resolutions.” Never hurts to dream! Many made New Year’s resolutions and many have already “failed.” I hate to see that commentary on good intentions although they may have been decided in an impulsive moment when anything seemed possible. Perhaps they needed a little more in-depth evaluation as to what it was going to take to reach the goal. Sometimes success is measured in small steps consistently taken in the right direction. Don’t rule that course of action out. One of my favorites is “you have to eat the elephant one bite at a time.” Believe me, I know about ele-phants. Some might say the level of commitment needed was just not there. That may be true; however, who we are and how we live our life does not start on New Year’s Day each year. It is the subject of humor and laughter and some sighs that perhaps lofty goals were not achieved. I find that goals require groundwork and planning to succeed and that is still not a guarantee of success, but it does dramati-cally improve the odds. It also improves how you process and strategically plan which becomes more routine rather than exceptional. When you focus on a path, plan the route and keep your eye on the prize, your chances for success increase. This also requires personal responsibility that you do not look around you or to others to do your part.
I encourage you not to need validation by others, or look outside yourself for ac-ceptance, or let others define who you are as a person. Self worth is determined and guided by you. Don’t let yourself or the team down. Be good to yourself. Make every day a good day. Taking care of yourself and those around you will help you attain many of your goals and celebrate goal day!
In the spirit,
