Happy New Years : A brand new slate



Happy New Years! This is the time that many of us are ready to accomplish those goals that we set for ourselves.  The New Years is like a new slate in life.  We vow that this is the year that will be better than the last year.  When I go to my mail box I see invitations for Gym memberships, and everything else that offers a new and fresh perspective.

What will make this year better than your last year?  Is it simply wishful thinking or do you actually have a plan for achieving  everything on your resolution list?  Many people have good intentions, but all too often, those intentions get buried in the sea of inaction or a lack of accountability .

 Perhaps many people get carried away in a child hood notion of blowing the candles off the cake, and making a secret wish for fear if you tell someone, the wish may not come true.   I really do not want to spoil a childhood fantasy, but if you keep certain things to yourself, that is exactly where it is going to stay ( with yourself).  Your goals have to be active and alive. Often times you will need a team, or a support group.  If you have gone to any sports event, it is not a private occasion. Cheerleaders and people in the audience are cheering the athlete as he strives to win.

The year 2015 is gone, and now we have a new slate for 2016. This year lets have a written goal, let's get active,  and let's be accountable.
