As we bring 2015 to a close, it is important that we decide what is going with us into 2016 and what needs to be left behind. In essence, evaluate what worked for you this year and what didn’t. Of course, we all want 2016 to be an amazing year. However, the only way to make your dream become a reality is to be honest about some of the people and habits that are not good for you. Let’s be honest, many of the people whom we associate with are not good for us. Likewise, some of the habits that we enjoy are hindering our progress. When will you decide that enough is enough? No more wishing, planning, worrying and overanalyzing everything. It is time to be courageous and make the tough decisions. I have a question for you. Are you willing to do what others won’t do in order to have what others don’t have? Are you willing to admit that a pruning process must take place BEFORE 2015 is over?
As you may already know, I lost my father in November and this helped me truly grasp the idea that life is short. Far too often we think we have more time than we actually do. Are you ready to upgrade your lifestyle? How about your network? You should not be the smartest and/or wealthiest person in your circle. Make a decision to get connected with people who are where you desire to be. Go to conferences and networking events where you can connect with likeminded people. It is time to view life from a different perspective. Don’t view your goals as items that you will start on once you get certain things taken care of. Well, let me tell you, that won’t happen. If you are waiting for everything to line up, you will be waiting forever. Life is always throwing curveballs. Yet, that is no reason for you to stand on the sidelines.
Do you think that those who are living their dream do not have any problems? The truth is no one is going to get through life problem free. The difference is simple, successful people keep moving forward. If you are still here, there is a reason. My brother, My sister, I do not want you to postpone your dream another day. I want you to begin living your best life now. There is no joy in simply existing. I don’t want you going to a job that you hate or staying in a situation that you despise. Decide right now, that settling is not an option. Do what it takes to get your life heading in the direction that you want it to go in. You can do this. Out with the old and in with the NEW! Until next time….
