2011 BABY!!!!!!

AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Can you believe it's a new year already? It seems like 2010 went by so fast!

As I think about 2010 one word comes to mind. Growth!

I have learned so much about myself and I realized what's my passion. Knowing my passions and what I want most in the world has helped me to hone in on my goals. Having a clear picture of what it is that you want makes it setting goals easier.

It's very important that you take time to reflect on your priorities. What you spend the most time and money doing shows your main focus. Sometimes we have to refocus!


Three things to help us refocus for 2011......

1) Write down your goals

2) Make a plan

3) WORK YOUR PLAN!!!!!!!!!!!


I put #3 in all caps because it's the hardest step. Writing down goals and making a plan is pretty easy. Working that plan is where many of us fail.

Step #3 is the trial and era period. What you write down does not include everyday life situations. Things will happen that will take you off course. If you keep your goals in view you will be able to get back on the right path!

Put little notes in places that you look at everyday, to remind yourself what it is you are working towards. I have notes on my bathroom mirror, on the mirror in my bedroom, by the door, and on my refrigerator, things I look at everyday. On days that I don't feel like doing anything, the notes gives me a little pick me up. Your notes can be your goals, bible verses, or motivational quotes. Whatever you need that makes you tick, do it!

No matter what it is in life that you want to accomplish. If there is a will, there is a way!

Push yourself in 2011!
