Is 2010 YOUR year?

               My mother often said, “The older you get, the faster the time!”  As with most things, mom was right.  As you read this last entry of 2009 does it seem possible it’s soon to be 10 years since Y2K?  Remember the panic and concern that the sky would fall, our bank accounts would be in jeopardy and warnings to take necessary precaution just in case of crisis?  As it turned out, life went on as normal.

               With this as with every new year, it causes one to “look back” to review and reflect on what we’ve accomplished, the goals we didn’t meet, the blessings and challenges we experienced and to “re-commit” to what we want in the future.  I remember in 2000 being determined to make every year in the new millennium better than the last, more memorable and more productive.  What about you?

               The question is where are you right now in the plans, resolutions, commitments you’re willing to  make in order for  2010 your best year ever?  Will you enroll in a class you’ve postponed until now?  Have you finally once and for all announced to yourself and to everyone who cares about you this is the year your health is your #1 priority? Will you join a  gym or make your membership worthwhile?  Have you written your goals? What about the book you said you were going to write?  Maybe this is the year you’ll leave an unrewarding job to strike out on your own.  What is the condition of your financial house?  Will you finally make plans to update your will?  Do you have a will?  Is one of your goals to add more balance to your life, creating more time for you, family and friends?           

               Are you still reading or have I overwhelmed you?  Here’s the bottom line.  Every day we make choices.  Each day we get to choose the direction we want for our lives.  Every choice has consequences.  A year from now we will be re-visiting the outcomes of our choices.  I encourage you to choose carefully.  Right this minute, say “yes” to your health.  Say “yes” to personal and professional development.  Say “yes” to spending more time with family and friends.  Engage in meaningful work.  Volunteer.  If you need someone to help you be accountable I welcome hearing from you.  Together, we can make 2010 our best year ever.  Would welcome your comments!
