Happy New Year Dare To Live Your Life To The Fullest

How have you lived your life until now? Have you lived very safely and in a structured way? Do you do what you are “supposed” to do, go to your job, take care of your friends and families, support those around us and all the while put your desires on the back burner to be taken up for when the time is “right”. Your busy routine continues day in and day out. You trade self-fulfillment for “security” and ignore that persistent voice inside of you that refuses to go away, that voice that reminds you that you are not living your fullest life. You ignore those “aha” moments when you catch a glimpse of all the possibilities available to you, the moments that cause you to remember that life could be and should be a lot more exciting, adventurous and purposeful than it is.

When New Year comes around, you swear to yourselves and others that you going to go out on a limb that year and live the life you know was meant for you, but then you find yourselves caught up in the motions again. “There must be more to life.” I hear people say. Well there is and what better time than now to make some changes. What better way to start off this New Year than by paying attention to your inner voice? That voice tends to stick around reminding you that you were meant for something much larger than that which you may have settled for.

Tip: Try using the free spaces under your stairs for extra storage. These can provide you with some decent sized drawers to keep more of your stuff in.

In 2006 would you dare to take the plunge and unlock all your aspirations by making the decision to live unconventionally? Have you ever wanted to cut your hair short, go red, learn Spanish, enroll for a degree, join a painting class, take a trip to an exotic place, support a child in Africa, or learn how to tango?

If a cold climate does not suit you why not make plans to move to a warmer one, fix relationships that need fixing and get professional help if need be, find your soul mate – yes it can be done and for once and for all do not allow yourself to work a minute longer than you have to in a job that is destroying your confidence day by day. Update your resume, put yourself on the market and get some valuable recruitment advice.

Tip: When defining a goal for your personal development be sure to make it challenging, but not impossible. Setting an impossible goal can be just as harmful to your development as setting a goal that is too easy.

Quite simply, for this year stop being the victim of your own life. Make the choice to live more freely, live with spirit, and stop being the good little student and experiment with your life. Go out on a limb and see what happens. Open your heart more, feel more and live with passion. Forget about always trying to be in control. Instead do what feels right and what makes you happy.

Whose standards customs are you going to conform to in 2006?

Tip: Making time in your daily schedule for yourself is important for personal development. Working for others is common - even, in some cases, very noble - but in order to see success in a personal development routine, one must set aside some personal time to work towards that success.

Why not be your own pioneer and allow yourself to live an amazing life.

Quote of the week

Tip: When trying to work on some of your downfalls, try setting some simple attainable goals first. You will probably start out feeling negative toward it and it will help you a great deal to get the motivation to keep going if you meet the goals.

“Nobody can go back and make a new beginning, but anyone can start today and make a new ending.” Mark Robinson

A new years poem (By Jerry, 1993)

Tip: Strive for perfection, but know that you'll never achieve it. When your goal is perfection, you are headed in the right direction.

It's New Years again, and I would expect

It's time for agendas, and time to reflect.

Tip: Keeping positive influences in your life will keep you working harder at your personal development plan. If your best friend is a couch potato who needs a job, a life, and a shower then you are either going to be influenced into the same life style or dragged down because of it.

A time to take inventory, of the year just past,

And a time to confront, our errors at last.

Tip: Take time to do something for yourself, every day. Taking time, even as little as fifteen minutes, to do something you enjoy can do wonders for your mood, outlook and motivation.

A time to recall, those no longer here,

A time to remember, a time to revere.

Tip: Make sure that you set up action areas in your home or office. These are places that are designated to one action each so that you can perform this action and then move onto the next one.

A time to resolve, for the year now new,

To change or adjust, those things we will do.

Tip: To be successful learn how to deal with change. The world is constantly changing and if you learn how to adapt to changes you can move right along with it.

A time to change habits, and really we should,

convert them all please, from bad ones to good,

Tip: If you take a stand, make it a justified stand. You have an obligation to yourself to clearly define your beliefs, understand your beliefs and build upon them.

A time to thank God, who made night and morning,

To see a new day, and enjoy a new dawning,

Tip: If you are trying to start on the path to personal development, it's very important to know exactly what you want. Personal development is the process of turning your dreams into reality, so the dreams part is essential.

It's time for us all, to seize the gold fleece,

Release sparkles of stardust, of love and new peace.

Tip: To help you improve yourself personally, exercising everyday is essential. Exercise can help you improve your focus, enhance your ability in a variety of sports and generally improve your health and well being.

A time to embrace, all those we hold dear,

To hold them, and wish them, "A Happy New Year!"
