End of Year Completion

We are at yet another end of a year. So, how did it treat you? The answer for most of us is a bit of everything. We had our triumphs and we’ve had our failings. Yet, what is the first thing that came to your mind when you did a quick mental review of the past year?If you are like most everyone else, what came to mind for you is what didn’t get done; the 20, 15, or 10% of your life where you/your team/your business fell short. Focusing on our shortcomings is what we human-beings do. We beat ourselves up… apparently the world doesn’t do that enough for us already! Once you’re done giving yourself a mental lashing, do you feel better? Are you inspired and motivated to go out and accomplish greater things? Probably not.When we live our lives from a negative headspace, being unstoppable is a difficult thing to do. Would you like to turn your thinking around? It is easy to do and requires nothing more than you choosing to reclaim your power.Getting your head turned back on, shaking off what holds you back, and reclaiming your power to have the life you say you want to have requires you to:

• Get present to the life you are living! If the negative circumstances in your world account for 20, 15, or 10% of your life, that means 80, 85, or 90% of your world is going pretty well. So, get present to the good in your life. Choose to live from a place of happiness and gratitude for what you do have, instead of worrying about what you don’t have.
• Get present to how great you really are. Here again, if 80+% of your life is going well, you’ve got to be doing something right!

So, how do you get present to the good you do and the good around you, when your mind automatically defaults to the negative?

End of Year Completion Exercise

I strongly request that before January 1st  you sit down in a quiet space, with your significant other, and write down all of things each of you has accomplished. (Susan and I do this every New Year’s Eve.) Include your personal and professional triumphs; the amount of money you were able to add to your children’s education fund, the amount of weight you lost, new friends you made, a new hobby you took on, a new appreciation for the simplicities of life, the clients whom were exceedingly happy with the work your produced for them, taking on greater leadership, teaching what you know, etc!Standing there, present to the good you do and the good around you, you can move in any direction you choose. You can be powerful in your own behalf, choosing to be in action around what you want to accomplish, AND choose to make a difference for others too. This isn’t an either/or proposition. You have the power within you to make whatever you want to happen, happen. You’ve just got to get present to your power; get present to the good around you; get present to the good you do; clear the junk that gets in your way, and be unstoppable… never, never ever give up!My best wishes to you and yours for a wonderful and happy holiday and New Year! Warm Regards,
