It's hard to believe that 2007 is almost over and 2008 is arriving very soon.
The end of the year is a good time to take stock; to examine where we've been; where we are now; and where we want to go next year.
I invite you to spend some time exploring the different parts of your life:
• Love Relationships
• Family Relationships
• Friendships, Neighbors and Collegiate Relationships
• Worklife/Career
• Hopes and Dreams
• Your Body, Mind and Spirit
What accomplishment are you very proud of?
What goal did you have that wasn't realized?
What is the most significant life lesson you learned; and how did it change your life? Your relationship with someone?
Did you experience any losses or disappointments? Have you spent time grieving the hurt associated with the loss or disappointment?
Did anything unexpected happen? Have you expressed your gratitude?
Is there a task or an endeavor that is incomplete that you want to complete or bring closure to before December 31?
Do you still need or want to do or say something to someone?
Do you have a dream for 2008? And a plan to make it a reality?
This is just a partial list that I vigorously encourage you to use to spark your own personal inquiry.
My amazing Grandmother used to say, "A rolling stone gathers no moss." Loosely translated, that old saying reminds us to stay actively engaged in our lives and to resist becoming complacent.
Be the architect of your life! Don't wait for something to happen. Design your life and your love life with deliberate intention for the rest of your life.
Pay very careful attention to your choices; and be sure your design matches your Vision for your life; your Values; and your Life Purpose.
Don't settle; compromise; or negotiate away that which is your right and your obligation to Be, Do and Have; that which matches the deepest part of you.
This is your time to be and become more and more of who you already are! Let’s begin today, together; and make 2008 our Best Year Yet!
This is YOUR time to be your best and most brilliant and passionate Self! Say YES! And let’s go.
Remember, only YOU can make it happen!
