Diet? Lose weight? Cut down on the use of credit cards? Be more prompt with bill payments? Cut down on shopping. Read more, pursue that elusive dream, whatever that is. Be a better partner, parent, friend and employer or employee. This is a common one: Exercise!. Meditate.
Time is passing by, welcome to 365 days of procrastination. Time to change your strategy. Yes, life entails strategies, planning,action and implementation.
But, build it one step at a time.
Think of the company you work for. They have a business plan, a budget; they make sure they have the resources needed, financial, time and human . They assess their position on schedule. They implement, they act decisively when it matters.
This is their challenge in order to succeed.
So, what is your challenge?
Replace the worn out resolutions that you make year year.The words lost their essence, their meaning long ago. Re-think, plan a strategy to meet your challenge. Make it worth your while.
In a nutshell, are these pursuits challenging ?
Healthy lifestyle:
1. good , healthy nutritious food
2. healthy portions of food
3. balance work, family and recreation, each area gets a time of their own
4. exercise choose what is best for you, a lot to choose from
5. time for yourself- discover, nurture and listen to your inner self
Financial Health
1. budget- a well planned budget
2. outline major expenses for the year- car, house repairs, travel
3. analysis of spending habits- what you need and what you want
4. pay down debt- mortgage, credit cards
5. no matter what age group- a nest egg /retirement/emergency funds
Try a 21-day challenge.
This is not an original idea. But studies show that if you try your best for 21 days, it eventually results in developing a healthy habit. A forum Im on has this 21-day challenge. It turns participants into doers. Thats what you need to become- a doer.
Take it one challenge at a time. What is important to you? Diet, weight loss?
Challenge yourself to adopt a healthier eating habit. If fast food and take-out food is your style, there are healthy choices in this area. BUTis cooking such an aversion and bother that the convenience of take-out or frozen meals are so tempting. There are benefits to cooking. You can choose, experiment and be creative. Its actually a rewarding endeavour. Surprise yourself.
You love food, eat very healthy portions, you never feel full. More food is good for you. OK- think aboout this seriously.
Vegetables. Yuk. What wants them? Think again. You do!!! Get the idea?
Try this for 21 days. Focus on this challenge,with dedication and enthusiasm.Do it! If you succeed, your 21 days would act as your spring board to the next challenge .
One challenge at a time, you can build it up to eventually meeting all those New Years Resolution youve dropped by the wayside.

What Is Your Definition Of Success?

Summary:
If we really want this success then we will set ourselves on fire. We won't wait for spontaneous combustion.

"Success isn't a result of spontaneous combustion. You must set yourself on fire."
~Arnold H. Glasow
This really is a great quote. Not only is it interesting but also inspiring.
One of the truths that I find most frustrating as a teacher and a coach is that many people believe that success, in whatever field of endeavor they are currently striving, is rather like winning the lottery. In fact, it certainly seems from the evidence that they in fact believe that success is even more random because they aren't even buying a ticket. They are simply passively waiting.
If you listen to people talk you won't hear many people voicing this opinion of success but look around you and watch what people are actually doing--or rather not doing--and you will quickly see what I mean.
Many people want things--they want to be rich, they want to be at the top of their profession, they want a successful marriage, they want to raise great kids, they want to be respected in their community, and so on. But what do they do to achieve this success? Are they working both hard and smart toward their financial goals and living frugally while they do so? Are they constantly learning and striving at their job? Are they showing their spouse love, consideration, understanding, and generosity? Are they spending time with their children both modeling how to be a good person and being generous with their love and understanding? Are they regularly proving themselves an asset within their community by being a good neighbor in every sense of the word?
We all know that we must accomplish these tasks as I set them out to achieve success in these areas. Probably I missed something as well. I am hardly a model of success in every area. I would in fact describe myself as fair to middling. {g} I am certainly not rich but the bills get paid and our basics and then some are covered without too much stress. My boss, peers, and subordinates think I am doing a pretty good job as well as those that I serve professionally. While my marriage is in fairly good shape I know I could certainly put more into it. I think I have a great kid but know well my failings as a mother. I contribute to my community but no where near the level that I could or should.
How do you define success?
Is it money, career, love, marriage, family, friendship, respect, community?
For me, success is primarily about love. How many lives do I touch with mine? How many hearts? Who has been changed by my existence in a postive way? I hope that people judge me as a good person and that if I died tomorrow that there would be great mourning.
If we really want this success then we will set ourselves on fire. We won't wait for spontaneous combustion.
