And so we come to after Christmas, that period when we slow down the eating and drinking, take stock, wonder what promises and resolutions we might make - and which ones we’ll actually keep - for 2016.
2016! Where did that come from?
If you do make a resolution, back it up with a plan. A series of tick list type steps as in “do this, then do this, then do this”.
You see, if you just have a goal but no plan there is no way you're going to get there.
When you have a plan - if you stick to it, you cannot fail.
Unless it is the wrong plan, but that is another matter. Make the right plan!
And then get support.
No one becomes greater by accident. It takes a desire to have more, and it takes others to nurture and support that desire.
Someone like a mentor or a coach is invaluable to shaping and directing and providing clarity.
Two things for you to ponder and then to collect about your personage:
Who are your mentors?
Start looking for one and they will come. When the student is ready, the teacher appears.
And…
Who do you actively look after? Who do you nurture?
It's easy to complain about the state of the world today, but what do you do to make a difference?
Find the answers to your own questions…
Make a plan…
Get support…
Carry it all out…
Be awesome…
Be even more amazing than before…
Repeat.
