It's that time of the year once more. The town is lighted brightly, sharing it's colors, announcing it's the time of new beginnings and the time to put the old to rest. How many of us see the ending of a year that way? New beginnings.
I love this time of the year. I love the trees, the decorations, the more the merrier. The celebration of life. This is the time to look back and finish the undone, there is still some time left to finish the old and plan for the new. To think of the mistakes we made and to rectify them next year.
I decided last year I wanted to be a notary, no glamour, not big deal. I just thought it would be something worthwhile to do. I became frightened and thought it would be difficult, I thought it took something or someone special to do this, so I gave up. This year, a few months ago, I thought about it again or it thought about me. I delved deeper and found out it was so simple and now I wonder why I didn't pursue it a year ago...fear, that's all it was. The fear of failure. A year lost was the failure. I did it and now, I'm relieved. Over the fear and on to something new. I've decided I won't allow fear be my block. At least try. I won't let fear stand in my way.
I don't care stupid I may look or dumb it may feel. I am going to try.
I just figured out that the reason most don't do, is because of fear. Frightened of the unknown. How will you know, if you don't try. What is it that makes us so frightened. It's unknown. We do a lot of things that are unknown, why do we fear the unknown of what it is we want to do. Lack of knowledge, afraid to ask questions. The answers are available. Get them and go forth.
In the coming year, let's start by pursuing our dreams and not worry about the what if's. What if's are the things, the stumbling blocks that stand in our way of success. That keep us from achieving our hopes and dreams. They keep us stuck. Let's proclaim the coming year as the year to be unstuck.
Love, honor and respect.

Create Time for Goals
CREATE TIME FOR THE GOAL
If you’ve reading my blog, you will recall this as being third insert for 7 effective ways to set your goal in motion.
Well, today I found out that I’m a good one for setting goals; I missed mine for the week. I like to write my goals onto a calendar I keep next to my computer. This wasn’t a very good week to reach goals; we had a family emergency evolve. Isn’t that always the way when you’re trying to achieve something.
Don’t sweat it if this happens. You missed your goal; it’s not a life threatening matter. You keep working at whatever it is that needs to be completed. Some of us get upset, frazzled out, I know I do sometimes, but I have to come back to the reality that things happen and it’s out of our control. We can’t control everything, even though we think we can.
Look at this way, I missed it but I can get it done. Don’t let missing goals for that week throw you out of sync, relax and get back to work; it is not the end of the world.
I was working on a couple of items, I ran out of yarn. I never knew there were so many shades of black from a manufacturer. I had extra black, just not the shade I needed. This added to my not reaching this week’s goal. Now that I have what I need, there was other business to attract my attention. Things happen that you can’t say no to. I moved reach date to three days away from the original. That’s all we have to do, just reset the date and work towards the next deadline. You see, the important thing here is to keep working towards those new dates.
Remember to always set short term goals. Something that can be achieve quickly. As you begin to reach your goals, you will feel better and begin to set more goals that are attainable. Write them down, place them where they are always visible. Once you achieve your goal, just one goal, each goal, treat yourself. Do something special for yourself, go to the movies, take a day off and just relax, get a facial, just do something that makes you feel good about reaching your goal. It’s a reward. This gives you the enthusiasm to work on to the next.
I know that in order to achieve you must have time. The best way to find time for your goals is to take note of where your time is going. Ask yourself what is it that I’m doing in a day that takes away from my achieving my goal. Then eliminate that action.
Set a date and time for everything you need to do. In running a business, set aside a time and date that all you do that day is work on your promotions. Set a date and time to blog or check forums. Set aside time that you spend on the phone with family or friends, so as not to interfere with what you’re doing. Get the picture.
There is always time to work on what we love and consider important. Create time and see your dreams begin to unfold.
Please feel free to leave comments, I love hearing from you. Your comments will help to make my blogs better.
Next week I will go into Decide once and for all!
