In With The…

You’ve heard the saying out with the old and in with the ….. well you can finish the sentence.  I believe it is …in with the ‘new’.

With another New Year approaching, many will resort to resolutions.  I however, do not resort to resolutions.  The reason is that resolutions don’t seem to last and are usually quickly forgotten.

I would rather make plans and set goals.  Every December I purchase a beautiful new planner and portfolio and set out to plan for the New Year.  I have filled in the month of January and will continue to fill in each month accordingly.  I like to use different highlighters to color code each goal.

I am quite nerdy, so I really enjoy writing out all my plans, dreams and ultimate goals for the coming year.  I then reflect on all the goals and dreams of the previous year and pray about the ones that were not accomplished and rewrite them for the coming year.

This year, I have many plans, hopes and dreams….but then again, don’t we all?  I also have goals that I intend and will accomplish.  I have personal goals and business goals.

I have a separate journal for my personal goals and my business goals are written in my planner.  Each day I pray and reflect on my dreams and goals and how I can reach them without jeopardizing my family and my faith.  So far, I have stayed true to my family and my faith and continue to pray that I will remain on that path.

Have you resorted to resolutions that will more than likely be discontinued or do you have goals?

I have goals and hope to be able to look back on them on December 31, 2009 and find check marks next to each accomplished one.

Happy New Year and let’s make it a FABULOUS One!
