Welcome back
Here we are at the start of a brand new year so what will this coming year be for you? more of the same or will you make it the year you really make a difference?
It's all so easy when that clock strikes midnight and we celebrate the coming of the new year to rattle of a list of resolutions, most of all which will be dead before the end of the first day.So while it's vitally important to have a list of "goals" what's equally important is that we have a plan to "action" those goals and having what I refer to as "stickability" yes a very technical term I know but it simply means sticking to your plan and giving it time to manifest into success.
Over the holidays I had a little time to get in some reading so I re read "Losing my virginity" by Richard Branson and "Steve Jobs" by Walter Isaacson. Whilst Richard and Steve seemed to be very different characters some very distinct similarities shone through, an unstoppable passion for what they were doing, a crystal clear vision for what they wanted to achieve, a willingness to do whatever it took to achieve their dreams and an unwillingness to accept it couldn't be done even as many so called experts said it couldn't.
Another great little book I read that has now become one of my favourites is "The Alchemist" by Paulo Coelho a fictitious tale of Santiago the Shepherd boy and his quest for his Personal Legend or as I prefer to call it Life Purpose and what this book demonstrates beautifully is that set backs and perceived failures are actually part of our successes and and that we can not hope to find success without failure.
Many times over the coming year you will run into obstacles and setbacks, feel frustrated that things are just not happening, the people around you may even tell you "I told you so" the important thing is that you stay true to your self and your dreams. You see if you want to create a truly remarkable life you have to be willing to do the things most people wont in order to live the life that most people can't.
Right now 2012 is a blank canvass and you have the power to either create a copy, a mess or a masterpiece, it's your choice.
What's it going to be?
Have an exceptional week
