The new year is around the corner. It will be filled with opportunities to live better and smarter than ever before. Over the holidays, take some time to think clearly about that last 12 months, make notes about any make changes you have thought about making in all areas of your life. Be sure to think about all your successes, big and small, and write them down. Determine to continue your best activities in the new year. But be honest about your weaknesses, your mistakes, your "blind spots," and write them down as well.
This time of year is really important for those of you who look at the calendar and have to honestly admit, "my recipe isn't working." If you look at the year and in your personal opinion (the only one that matters) you can't give yourself high marks, please have the courage to ask, "Why not?"
Here are a couple of the most common weaknesses that hold people back:
1. Lack of clarity. Many people "sort of muddle" through life. They have a set of fantasies or hopes or wishes, perhaps some images or expectations in their mind, but they never truly define the direction they want to move in. If this is you, take time to finally DECIDE exactly what you want. Write it down. Tell other people. Make the commitment and begin the journey towards it.
2. Lack of focus. Some people are clear about what they want, but they are undisciplined, fearful or distracted and never "lay claim" to their futures. They want a better job, a relationship, children or they want to travel but they also want too many other things and never focus their time, effort, creativity and emotion on "going for it." If you are clear about WHAT you want, focus on DOING IT.
