Welcome to a New Year AND a New Decade! It seems to insinuate a lot of pressure to make resolutions and accomplish new things.  If you live anywhere near the “here and now”, every day actually offers the promise of resolutions realized or not.  I’m always pondering my goals, I do write them down and I actually have to be careful how I frame them as I’m so naturally “hard-wired” for goal-setting and so “type-A” about keeping them!  I say this because life is a “flow” and resiliency and flexibility are paramount to success.  However, I digress!  Any time you set a goal, you have to be looking around the corner for “procrastination” to rear its ugly head!  And, I can promise you that “procrastination is not your friend”.  Not ever!  End of story!  If there’s something you want to do, something you want to accomplish………do not give “procrastination” a ride to anywhere. 

If you’re still considering your “New Year/New Decade” resolutions, I would think these are at least categories to include:

  • Family.  It all starts with family.
  • Health.  Without health, the rest of your list doesn’t matter.
  • Friends.  They’re your “family” not by blood.
  • Finances.  You may not care about money, but everytime I go to buy groceries, they make me pay with money???
  • Personal Development.  This a core element of a fully realized human being, we just have to keep trying.
  • Business Plan.  If you’re in business, you need one. If you’re not, you’re dependent on other businesses you frequent having one.
  • Philanthropy.  Once you’ve reached the level of providing for yourself and your family, giving back is essential for fulfillment.
  • Love.  YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  • Education.  We just need to keep learning new things.
  • Spirituality.  We need to feel like we leave this earth making a difference (size does not matter).
  • Exit Plan.  When, where, how and why will we retire?  What is our legacy?

Lots to think about and some time to do it!  Just don’t let “procrastination” keep you from any one of these.  I promise you “that guy” ain’t your friend.  Just do it!  Happy New Year! 

Health, wealth, peace, love, joy…………..jj
