Happy New Year!!

by deanec on July 1, 2009

It doesn’t seem that long ago when we ushered in the New Year, full of hope and promise.

This was it! This was the year I am going to (fill in the blank)_______________!!

Reality Check Time!

We are now halfway through the year – How are those resolutions looking now?

Have you lost 15 pounds out of the 30 you wanted to?

Have you even started your fitness plan yet?

Something Alwyn Cosgrove says repeatedly hits me upside the head every time I see it…

“The Time Will Pass Anyway…”

That simple statement has impacted me profoundly.

The time will pass whether I workout today or not…

The time will pass whether I work on my business today or not…

The time will pass whether I spend it with the people I care about today or not…

and Time is the great equalizer.

Everybody gets 24 hours a day – 168 hours a week.

You control what you do with it.

You must take control of your time.

Don’t let the people around you steal your most precious asset.

We give ourselves permission to fail; “I don’t have time” – because of our circumstances, our job, our boss, our children – whatever.

The truth is that the decisions you make today determine your tomorrows.

The choices we make now determine our future selves.

So here we are – half of 2009 is already past, never to be reclaimed.

There is nothing you or I can do about the time we have lost.

What we can do is to Start Today making better choices and better decisions that will move us closer to our goals and dreams.

So what’s the action plan?

Adjust your goals to reflect the remaining 6 months in the year.

Track your progress.

Get Started Today!

Make It Happen!

Dean

    I love your last line, Taking actions is what separates achievers from dreamers. I have always considered myself an achiever, so thank you for your motivation. You infectious energy is inspiring. It has made me figure out what is important and what is not, exercise is very important.
  • Thanks Katherine, I really appreciate it!
  • ana
    That's a lot of the same principles as John Maxwell's book Today Matters. Really puts things in perspective! Love it.
  • I have not read Maxwell's book, but good principles are good principles, and he certainly has some good perspective. Taking action is what separates achievers from dreamers.
