"Acquire
the courage to believe in yourself. Many of the things that
you have been taught were at one time the radical ideas
of individuals who had the courage to believe what their
own hearts and minds told them was true, rather than accept
the common beliefs of their day."
Ching
Ning Chu - Chinese American Business Woman
"To
accomplish great things we must not only act, but also dream.
Not only plan, but also believe."

"Motivation
is when your dreams put on work clothes."
Ben
Franklin
"It is good to dream, but it is better to dream and
work. Desiring is helpful, but work and desire are invincible."

"Opportunities
are usually disguised by hard work, so most people don't
recognize them."

"With every wish that you make comes the power to make
it come true. But it is up to you to provide the work that
will make it a reality. Are you using your power to make
your wishes come true today?"
Libby Rosenauer
"Goals.
There's no telling what you can do when you get inspired
by them. There's no telling what you can do when you believe
in them. And there's no telling what will happen when you
act upon them."
Jim
Rohn
"If you want to reach a goal, you must 'see the reaching'
in your own mind before you actually arrive at your goal."
Zig
Ziglar
"An
unwritten want is a wish, a dream, a never-happen. The day
you put your goal in writing is the day it becomes a commitment
that will change your life. Are you ready?"
Tom
Hopkins
"Goal-setting illuminates the road to success just
as runway lights illuminate the landing field for an incoming
aircraft."
Nido

"The
establishment of a clear central purpose or goal in life
is the starting point of all success."

What will this new year bring for you? Have you set goals,
a plan of action for the year? Some would say that if you
'fail to plan, you then plan to fail'. I like to think that
life happens, whether we plan it or not. There are so many
things, commitments, and obligations that fill up our day.
Yet stop and ask if you are actually working on things that
you love to do, or accomplishing tasks that have meaning
for you. I feel that some level of goal setting is imperative.
This is part of establishing a vision and mission for a
company, a business. Why not for yourself? Are you and the
quality of your life not more important than any business
venture you would undertake?
So what are your goals for this year? Don't be overwhelmed
by the feeling of not knowing your ultimate purpose, your
'big' vision. Get down to the business of planning your
year, a vital and important component of your life. The
more you set goals that matter to you, that call you to
your true self, the more that you will attract your purpose
to you. You will simply begin to see it a little more clearly.
Some questions I would love you to answer:
What are 5 key goals for your year?
If this is your last year in your physical form, what is
it that you have yet to be/do/have?
Who are 5 people that you would love to get closer to, begin
to know more clearly and deeply? What are 5 new skills you
would love to learn?
What are 5 problems/challenges to tackle and resolve?
What are 5 fabulous adventures you can undertake, or become
prepared to experience?
What 5 things will you let go of this year?
These are some simple questions to answer to set your course
for the year. Establish your goals in all areas of your
life. Plan, explore, dig deeper. And have the faith in this
process of life to know that the more you experience each
moment, the clearer your purpose and role in this life will
unfold.
"Faith means striking out with no clear end in sight
and no clear view of the next step. It means following,
trusting, holding out a hand to an invisible guide."
