Your future’s right in front of you.
January 8, 2011
They say ‘an optimist stays up until midnight to see the new year in. A pessimist stays up to make sure the old year leaves.’ (Bill Vaughn)…. To be brutally honest, I did both!
In the past few days I have reflected on what didn’t go according to plan in 2010 on a personal level. Yes, even life coaches can be unprepared or make ‘poor judgement’ calls. A new year is the perfect excuse to spend time with ‘hindsight’. After assessing the ‘personal lows’ (or as I like to call them ‘lessons’) of the year before, I get excited about another chance of getting it right!
In the first 2 weeks of a new year I tend to evaluate what DIDN’T work in the year gone by…. & this provides the perfect foundation for my goal setting for the fresh year ahead!
A couple of personal lessons I’m taking from 2010:
- my grandmothers dementia
- The affect on the family (& the family dynamics) took it’s toll. Although no one can change the direction of her illness, management on so many personal levels surrounding the ‘loss’ of the matriach in my family needs focusing on in 2011
- not trusting my instinct
- I returned briefly to a ‘sparkless’ relationship. In hindsight, I doubted myself & thought that it was ‘me’ that needed fixing/healing etc….in order for the connection to evolve. At the end of the day, regardless of how much I ‘wanted’ the vibe to be different, I always knew the chemistry just wasn’t there! I am on a mission to make 2011 the year of trusting myself in every way.
By looking at where you’ve been you can change where you’re going. What you did last year will bear fruit in what you do and who you are this year. We are all ‘works in progress’. To be honest, every new season, new moon, new day & new moment is a chance to change our destiny. Your future is ahead of you & you can start again anytime you want.
Is it time to ignite your enthusiasm & energy for a fresh start!?
