Theme for 2010!!!

Soon we will be blessed with another 365 days to start again, start afresh, an opportunity to make this your best year ever. No repeats - just moving onto better! I read a newsletter the other  day and thought about how short really one year is - if you brek it down into segments - you get 4 quarters - some are taken up holidays like Easter/School Holidays/ Mid Breaks and then Christmas again and before you know it - yet another year has passed. Did you accomplish much in 2009? If you did, thats awesome, raise the bar for 2010! If not --- all is not wasted - The Universe is smiling down on you - you get another chance to create the life YOU want.

1. Evaluate 2009. Areas that need improving. What were your successes? Journal your achievements - this is your story - witness your life and write it. How were you present in 2009?

2. Set your theme...I am following one of my beloved authors here, Robin Sharma with this one! Set your theme for the year! " My year of financial liberation!" " My year for family" " My year for career success" " My year for entrepreneurship!" " My year of being kind to myself"

3. Write down just 4 lines as to how YOU will lead this year, instead of the other way around. Create a strong enough vision for the year ahead, see it and feel it - Manifest it. This will be your personal mission statement.

4. Every year I write down goals and yes they do materialise, maybe not always in the exact way I imagined but I have come to believe that I am the creator of this life of mine, if it didnt come to be, then I just didnt have a strong enough - "Why? So as you write down your goals this year, know why you want those things, let it be strong enough to be the driving force of you being abolutely relentless in achieving your desires.

4. The best suggestion I have heard to date about manifesting these goals in a clear and precise manner is to break them down into quarterly goals...so get yourself a diary for 2010 and write down where you should be at what stage. To break the year down. March is your first assessment/June Assessment/ September Assessment and then December. At each segment you will assess how far you have come and what steps you need to take to get closer. What is working and what isnt? Do you need help? Get it. If there are no results, that means you need to change things up, time will not wait for you, you will need to act. The assessment is to determine how far off you are and what steps you need to get closer.

5. I read a book a while ago by Brian Tracy, "Eat that Frog" ---his advice is to eat that BIG frog every morning before the day plans itself for you...so what is your big frog? Is the 10 sales calls that will take you closer to making your target for the week? Is it your follow ups on your repeat business? Is it merely strategising your week ahead? In simple terms that big frog is ideally that one main action that you need to take that will take you closer to achieving your goal for that day, often it may be the one thing that you put off doing - so no procrastination.

6. Make time to learn this year. Reading great material is like taking your soul on a holiday. I love to surround myself with inspiring books and most importantly inspiring friends and people in general. Learn from the people you admire, read their blogs or books. If you aspire to something find someone that has already attained that, then follow their examples - and make it better! If you click onto my profile on linkedin I have a list of books that I love to read, try some of those authors, they are wonderfully uplifting!

7. Make a commitment. What attitude will you embrace for 2010? Maybe it will be " I will live my best life!" " I will see the good in humanity!" " I will be slow to anger and I will smile more!" " I will be the one who smiles first!" " I will live each day with gratitude!" " I will not make assumptions!" " I will dare!" " I will not let the opinion of others stop me from doing the things I love or living life my way" " I will choose my words, as they have power beyond my imagination!" " I will be kind to myself "...." I will send my cv to melinda@hrcorp.co.za, as one can set 1000 to flight but 2 can set 10 000 to flight!!!!

I wish you all your dreams this year, may you rise to meet every challenge and see them as opportunities. You are the creator of this life, live consciously. Love yourself enough to choose YOUR best life!!!!
