2008 - Your Time To Shine!

Every year around this time, we begin to reflect on the year that was, sometimes with pride for a job well done and sometimes with regrets. We wonder why it perhaps didn’t turn out the way we had planned – AGAIN!

How come I didn’t quite reach the mark! And each year you reflect and dream again for what might be for the next year, knowing deep in your heart, you don’t quite believe it, but you hope it will come true this time - sound familiar?

Therein lays the problem – HOPE.

Where most people fail is that they dream that ‘one day’ or they hope that ‘some day’ …… well some day usually never comes. To truly immerse yourself in the belief and KNOWING that you can BE, DO or HAVE anything we can imagine, is possible if we do the work.

By the work, I mean, be prepared to ‘roll up your sleeves’ and get down to being totally honest with yourself. Start by looking at where you are a right now “the good, the bad and the ugly” Look at what you did achieve, what you didn’t and why. Ask yourself - What was holding YOU back? The challenge is to answer this question without BLAMING others.

Exte
al circumstances are not usually what prevent success - more often than not, the problem is within! Look at the effect of: n n ... self doubt ... lack of confidence ... negative self-talk

These can all contribute to a mindset which will sabotage the best intentions and plans.

Whatever your goal, whatever your dream, everything is possible when your mindset is right!

In order for you to create amazing results, you must first become the kind of person who truly believes you deserve this success, before you ever have a chance of making it happen.

Just for a moment put aside your doubts, your fears all the ‘yes buts’ and ask “if I absolutely KNEW that I couldn’t fail what would I truly dare to dream? What goals would you set?”

In 2008 let’s try and do it differently. Before setting goals, firstly identify whether these goals are in line with your current thoughts, beliefs and attitudes. Understand that what we think about, what we focus on, is basically what we get. Think of it as a magnet, drawing these things to us. n
Goal setting plays an integral part in the manifestation of true success and personal power. By setting and achieving your goals, you not only radiate inspirational abundance, you will find that others want to aspire to be just like you and/or be mentored by you!

The achievement of your goals is enhanced by using the CREATE formula below. It is critical that you write it down!

C CONCISE: - Be specific about what you want
R REALISTIC: - “Do I believe I can achieve this goal in time frame I want”?
E ECOLOGICAL: - “Is my goal safe for those around me, will I hurt anyone, or the planet in achieving this goal. If not – go for it.
A AS NOW: - Write your goal in present tense, as though it has already occurred.
T TIME FRAME: - Write in the date that you expect your goal to occur
E EVIDENCE: - “How will I know that this goal has been reached? “Where will I be, what will I be doing?”

Start it by saying it is now …(insert date) nand I have……………………………….and I am ……………………………………………….

How awesome will it be to look back at your goals this time next year and realize that you achieved each and every one of them! 2008 is a clean slate, a slate for you to draw anything and everything that you so desire, as the saying goes just do it! Take actio
NOW - set those goals and know that you are EVERYTHING that you want to be.

Wishing you all every success and happiness that you have the courage to dare to go for in 2008! nn n
