2013 - Turning Resolutions into Realities

If you think 2013 starts in a few weeks you are probably running a little late. You will get best results for a future you prepare for. The year is coming to a close and I am guessing you are planning or already taken inventory of the good, could be better and delete lists from 2012.  I am sure you know that most new year resolutions do not work. They start to fail from week-1 because they lack details of how the plan will be  executed.  Mike Murdock said "You are going to be the same person that you are five years from now except two things change; the books you read and the company you keep". By default, situations just don't get better, we need to take some action to make them so. 

How is 2013 going to be different from 2012? If you want to make a difference in 2013, you may need to change your strategy in order to get better results. According to Napoleon Hill, "Whatever your mind can believe and conceive, it can achieve". It all starts in the mind; if you are going to achieve bigger and greater things in 2013 you need to have a picture of where you would rather be. You can only feature in a future you can picture. Your future is what you make of today. If you think you can, you are right, if you think you can't, you are also right. Your thoughts are the bedrock for a solid 2013. What else affects your mind and what you believe? Your confessions and the people you hang around can make or mar your new year.  If you keep saying negative things that's what you are going to get. If you are always around negative people, you will soon become one of them. 

A rubber band is only useful when it is stretched.  If you want to achieve greater, you need to position yourself in an environment that encourages and stimulates your productivity. Surround yourself and connect with mentors and people whose ethics and accomplishments you admire. You can only feature in a future you can picture. Dare to dream big. 

I'll like to hear about how you plan for the new year.
