Make 2013 the year you look back on
and say, “Wow, look at what I accomplished!”
Huge numbers of
people begin each New Year with resolutions to lose weight, earn more, get a
promotion, eat healthier, exercise more, start a business, and the list goes on
and on. But it is so easy to fall back
into old habits before the new ones have really formed. Temptations are everywhere around us, and it
is difficult to resist them when we are caught up in lives that demand so much
of us to just get through some days.
You
absolutely can make 2013 the year you look back on and say, “Wow, look at what
I really did accomplish!” Your first
step is to begin to believe you really
can accomplish your goals. Instead of
thinking of them as resolutions,
which require willpower and determination, begin to think of what you want to
achieve as the next step in your journey to the “you” you want to be, doing the
work you want to do. When you make that
choice and decide to take action, you are on your way! It’s easy in the very beginning to stick to
your plan and begin to see results. Then
life always seems to throw obstacles in our path. That’s when our attitude often stumbles, and
we say to ourselves, “I guess I really can’t do this!”
Understand
that it is not the obstacle or event that is getting in your way; it is your
attitude towards the obstacle that makes the difference! If you begin to envision yourself living in
that new body, career, business and life, you will see opportunities come your
way! Begin to believe in the value of programming your
attitude!
Maintaining a
positive attitude frequently means controlling the input you get. Well-meaning friends or family say “Its’
impossible” or “why do you think you can do that”. Don’t believe them! In fact, don’t even listen to them! Think about all the “impossible” things
humans have accomplished. The Wright
brothers flew an airplane, astronauts walked on the moon, and doctors
transplant hearts. Belief always comes
before accomplishment. You must have
total belief in your dream and your ability to do it. You must develop the skills. You must stop the negative input before it
enters your ears or your heart and destroys your belief and with that, your
dreams.
Is it
easy? Absolutely not! Is it worth it? Only YOU can decide!
What are you
going to do today to move forward on your journey to a successful 2013?
