Welcome to 2011, friends!
I hope whatever you did last night, you were safe and with your loved ones. I heard about people who slept right through it; who went running to bring in the New Year on the pavement; who spend the evening with family and friends at home or out on the town.
However you chose to celebrate, I hope you are happy.
And if you are not happy, may I suggest that 2011 can be your year? The year in which instead of making empty resolutions which fizzle out by February…you set goals and make a concrete plan for how to reach those goals, and then execute that plan? The year in which you actually begin to achieve some of your goals, and make your own dreams come true?
I said something on Twitter the other day that resonated with me and a few other people: the difference between a resolution and a goal is having a PLAN. It’s so easy to think about what we want, but the truth is that unless we sit down and put together a realistic plan that allows us to follow-through on that thing we want…well, chances are we’ll spend next New Year’s Eve thinking about the same things we want, and setting the same resolutions for 2012.
Here’s the deal: 2011 is going to pass one way or the other. And in one year, you will arrive at the last day of 2011 and you will look back at this year. You have the choice now to determine how you will feel and what you will see when you do that look-back. So what will you choose?
I choose health.
I choose to do some hard work mentally & emotionally.
I choose to keep working to become the best me I can be.
I choose to run in several events that scare the bejebus out of me.
I choose to keep battling to lose this weight and keep it off because I AM WORTH IT.
I choose to be open and transparent here with myself and all of you…because it makes me better.
I choose LIFE.
So 2011? BRING. IT. ON. I am ready!
Are you ready? What are your plans for 2011? What is your PLAN to achieve your GOALS for this coming year?
You’ll here more about some of my plans over the next few weeks. I can’t wait to share!
