Travel a New
Road
This
year can be different.
It's
up to you.
As
holiday memories fade
and New Year resolutions are
made,
take time to reflect on something new,
something that will be important to
you.
The
past few years have been a challenge for many people.
Almost every one of us has a friend or family member who
has been hit by the downturn in the economy. Some of us
are struggling personally with this or other losses.
Perhaps you find yourself at mid life, unsure of how you
want to spend your "second act"? Or you may find
yourself at a personal or professional crossroad.
Whatever your present situation, it does not have to
define your future.
The coming year
can be a time of healing if you are willing to invest in
yourself, and take time to consider what is important to
you.
"Man,
alone, has the power to transform his thoughts into
physical reality; man, alone, can dream and make his
dreams come true." ~ Napoleon Hill
(American Writer 1883-1970)

Reclaim
who you are at your core
Has
your identity been rooted in what you do (or did) for a
living or in something else?
Have
you defined yourself by what you do
rather than by who you are?
It's
time to transform your thoughts and, thus, your
life!
Questions
come up as we turn toward reflection: What matters?
What's next? Where
do we go from here?
Start
by asking yourself:
- What
really does matter to me?
- What's
most important in my life?
- What
do I want to be remembered for?
- Why
do I want to make a change?
- Why
is the time for change now?
These
are big questions, and it takes big thinking to come up
with solid answers. The time you spend in reflection
will give you direction.
Through
the process of review (what happened) and renew (where
do you really want to go from here), you can
transform your thinking. From there, you can begin to
practice new behaviors and let go of those that don't
serve you. As you practice new behaviors, you'll develop
new habits. The new habits will bring you more energy
and synergy. Things will start to look different. And
you'll show up differently
too. |
