What is on your agenda for 2012?
Here it is another new year. What are your plans? Are you challenging yourself? What are your dreams and aspirations? I suggest that this year you move out of your own way and begin to have the life you have always dreamed about. We all have many resources available to us. Why not use them to make the changes you desire.
Do you remember when you were a kid and no dream was too big? You could walk on the moon, be a cowboy, or even be a major league athlete. Unfortunately too many of use were told to quit dreaming. Face the facts and grow up. Well I say hooey to that. I urge you to dream again. I urge you, as you plan for the New Year, dream big, make detailed plans, state your intentions and then go out and actually make things happen. Find out what it will take to get want you want out of life.
We live in absolutely amazing times. We have more knowledge at our fingertips than complete libraries had 50 years ago. We can learn from home, we can go to school, we can become an apprentice, and we can find a home-based business. We can change the world starting right in our own little corner.
As the great Gandhi said, “ Become the change you wish to see”. I am convinced that each of us has greatness within us. Some of us have businesses to start, others have books to write, while other of us may have children to raise, volunteering to do, or charities to start.
Oprah Winfrey, Bill Gates, Lance Armstrong, and Nelson Mandela stand out as individuals who have transformed our world. Each of them came from lesser means, and simply put made lemonade out of lemons. Each of these people has made huge changes in our world. Were they born great? I don’t believe so. They just had a vision stuck with it and moved heaven and earth to make it happen.
I believe it is important to live life avoiding regret. The facts are in, and someday we will all lie on our deathbed looking back through the history of our lives. We will undoubtedly think about what we wished we had done or accomplished. I for one don’t want to regret what could have been, what should have been. So I am deciding today to pursue my dreams.
So, I ask again. What’s on your agenda for 2012?
Use your talents, resources and skills to do something extraordinary with your life.
“Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure, than to take rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy nor suffer much, because they live in the gray twilight that knows neither victory nor defeat.” — Teddy Roosevelt
Until next time, I wish you the true riches of life, love, peace, happiness, and the time to enjoy it all.
