New Year - A time for renewal
The New Year - A Time for Renewal and Commitment
Traditionally, to most of us the New Year represents a fresh
start. It is our opportunity to let the past mistakes fade away
and to get back on track. The beginning of each New Year always
highlights how many of us have difficulty in keeping commitments
to ourselves - not just as the New Year but all year long.
There are many distractions throughout the year however a simple
plan will keep us on the road to accomplishment. A few steps
will assist us to be more successful in keeping those promises
and commitments we make to ourselves. Here are few to begin with
and you can always add more of your own.
1. Try to be true to you! If you truly understand yourself you
will be more successful in following through on the commitments.
Only make promises that you know you are able to achieve. Be
realistic!
2. If you believe in yourself your commitments will be
consistent with your values and ideals not someone else's image
of the way things should be. Be yourself!
3. Do not take on too much at once. The bigger the commitment
the greater chance of failure. Smaller and fewer commitment will
help you to achieve your goals. Be honest!
4. Be realistic with the time allotted to achieve the
commitments. Set a timetable and allow yourself time to
accomplish the smaller goals first. Be patient!
5. Last but most important of all is to keep your promise to
yourself and fulfill your own passions and goals. Trust in
yourself!
As the sun rises on this New Year, plan carefully for the
months ahead and stay focused on the commitments you make to
yourself. You will begin to see a stronger and more capable
person. Be kind to yourself and live each day with passion and
compassion.
