I must admit I'm not sure where my time has gone. I started this blog for December and then got caught up in 'life'. This morning I got anxious at the thought of the month drawing to an end without having finished it. Then I realized that the year was drawing to a close as well.
In a week we will focus on making goal posters for 2010. We will look back at the posters we created for 2009 to see how much progress we made in achieving those goals. I wonder how we will feel about that progress.
Where did your year go? Did you spend your time or invest it? Did you reach your goals or will they carry over to 2010? If they carry over, what will you commit to do differently to make sure they become reality? Goals are all about change.
When setting your goals for 2010, ask yourself, "What changes am I willing to go through to make this goal a reality?" You can say you want to learn a new skill, but if you never take the first step and follow through, they are just hollow words. Goals aren't meant to impress others; they should be a commitment you make to yourself - one that you work hard to keep.
Take yourself and your goals seriously. Plan your time every day around achieving your goals. Here are a couple of quotes to keep it in perspective.
The ultimate reason for setting goals is to entice you to
become the person it takes to achieve them.
The size of your success is measured by the strength of your desire; the size of your dream; and how you handle disappointment along the way.
Good luck with your goals for 2010.
Have I told you how much I appreciate you? I do!
