It all depends on me. If I choose to act on my desires -- however "new" or "old" they may be -- I have the potential of making a series of new beginnings in a variety of areas of my life. WHAT I MUST DO I must take note of my strong desires. That's my first step. I might use terms such as "reconnecting," or "getting on track." The point, however, is the same: taking a journey of the heart on the path that leads to a set of strong emotions. Emotions about work Emotions about people Emotions about a special dream AND WHAT DOES MY SET OF STRONG EMOTIONS DO FOR ME? In a word, my personal set of strong desires helps me to pay the price that is written on the label of each top level goal I want to accomplish. It is a two-fold price tag that involves... *A personal commitment *Focused and sustained action WHAT DOES MY HEART SAY ABOUT ... A variety things? In other words, what do I feel most passionate about? "I want to be a good dad, mom, friend or worker." "I want to keep my creativity alive." "I want to maintain good health." "I want to leave a positive legacy." "I want to get out of debt." "I want to..." AND THE KEY IS... "I *really* want to!" The *really* part is the important part. You might call this one of those bottom line keys to personal success. If I were to put it into a "success equation" it might look something like this: My Strong, Heart-Felt Desires + A Personal Commitment + Focused And Sustained Action = High Probability Of Success NOTHING IS A GUARANTEE I say "high probability" because I personally believe there are few guarantees in life. For instance... I may have the desire, put the time and energy into what I do, possess an extra dose of commitment and still experience a 9/11 in my life: a tidal wave that hits myself or those I care for with its own special kind of fury. In that case, quite naturally, I "take the hit," adjust and keep moving forward to the best of my ability. Now that I have related my "disclaimer" to the formula just mentioned, let me ask you this: WHAT STRONG HEART ISSUES WILL MOTIVATE YOU THIS YEAR? Do you need to spend some time reconnecting? What would you *really* like to accomplish? And... If you were to name the three "reasons" for accomplishing what you want to accomplish most, what would they be? 1. ___________________________________________________ 2. ___________________________________________________ 3. ___________________________________________________ HERE'S TO YOUR OWN UNIQUE "NEW" BEGINNINGS! I wish you the best. My hope is that these not-so-new thoughts will serve as a simple motivation for you to continue on your personal excellence quest. Have a great year!
