Back to the Future!
Happy 2008 everyone!
I thought I would start off the new year talking about Michael J. Fox, De Lorean's, and Flex Capacitor's!
Well, maybe not.
Instead, take a moment to look back to where you were a year ago. January 2007 - what goals did you have for the coming year? Did you make any resolutions?
How did you do?
Also, what fears did you have? What were you nervous about? What happened?
Guess what! It's 2008 - you made it through the year. Seriously, you are here right now - you are alive - and whatever fear you had last year, last week, or five minutes ago - you are here right now - and you have what you need to be successful.
Oscar winning legend Anthony Hopkins appeared on "Inside the Actor's Studio" awhile back, and he had this to say. Now, I am not sure if this quote was his own creation, but nevertheless, I love it:
"Today is the tomorrow you feared yesterday."
So, what were those fears again? Hey, you made it!!!!
Okay, here we are - two days into 2008 - so where do you want to go?
2008 is the year of being BIG!!
(not physically - that's a different resolution)
You are big! We are ALL big! So, how big do you want to be in 2008?
Here is some help. Try this:
1) Write down three things in your personal life you want to accomplish by the end of the year.
2) Think about something you can do today to put you on the path of accomplishing those goals.
3) Do that one thing.
Even if the step is small - it is a step in the right direction. After you have taken a few steps in that direction - then you can let the momentum kick in - and the strides on that path will get wider and swifter.
Here is something else you can do. Think about one thing you can do on a daily basis that would improve the overall happiness and fulfillment in your life. One thing. What is it?
I am talking about something that can be done everyday, no matter where you are - and doesn't even necessarily take a lot of time. It might be push-ups and sit-ups, reading inspirational literature, prayer, time with your kids or spouse, or journaling.
One thing - one commitment to a better you.
It might sound like a small step - but it is one step in the right direction to a big game!
Are you up for it?
Are you a player - or a spectator?
If you are tired of watching from the sidelines - or you need a positive boost to help you along the path - just drop me a line.
Much love,
Travis
