The New Year Is Right Around The Corner! Just 12 days and counting. Have you thought about what you would love to achieve, do, be, see, learn, create, have, feel in 2008? Why not begin thinking and brainstorming today? No need to wait for 2008. Rather than waiting until the stroke of midnight, in a champagne induced frenzy of goodwill - make some sober decisions today. That's not to say that you can't have fun, be enthusiastic, thrilled, and challenged about the wonderful blank page that will be spread before you on January 1. You should be excited and ready to 'go for it'!
I'm advocating that you think outside the box. Forget about the tired 'list of resolutions' that you've made over and over again because you feel you should - or someone else feels that you should. Instead, try something fresh and new in 2008. Do something just for you. Pursue just one resolution. Pursue just one cherished dream. Pursue that one dream that is on your mind all the time, the one that makes you feel a little giddy and nervous all at the same time. Pursue that one dream that you're passionate about - the one that you'd love to achieve in this lifetime.
I call these dreams, Lifetime Resolutions - the things that you'd love to be, do, achieve, see, feel, have, learn, create in this lifetime. I turn 50 in the New Year, and I've been keeping these lists - achieveing these Lifetime Resolutions most of my life. My list is long - a living document, that changes and grows as I change and grow. I've built a business, earned college degrees, worked from home, become a professional photographer, professional fundraiser, writer, entrepreneur, gardener. I exercise, play tennis, strive to eat healthy, write daily, give back . . . and on and on. My Lifetime Resolution List fills my days and leaves me fulfilled and happy.
Maybe it's time for you to sit down and brainstorm a Lifetime Resolution List. Are you carrying around a nagging dream? One that just won't go away, no matter how much you procrastinate? Why not make 2008 the year that you 'go for it'? Don't wait for January 1 - start today! Do it right now!
Remember: I Resolve To Achieve My New Year Resolutions, One Resolution, One Day At A Time For One Year. It's your choice. Do it today. Turn your resolution into reality in five simple, common sense steps: Dare To Dream, Decide, Define, Develop A Plan, and Do It Daily. Make your resolution a permanent Lifetime Resolution, something that's with you for good! Above all, Be A Resolutionista, someone who makes resolutions, keeps resolutions, and enjoys the journey! Let's Go For It!
