Goals: The Man in the Mirror

Did you make New Years resolutions this year?

How are they going?

Are you on fire with motivation and accomplishing everything that you set out to do?

Or have your goals/resolutions fallen to the wayside?

I hope that you are part of the former, but if you do find yourself in the latter, it’s not too late! And for those that planned on creating resolutions, but just didn’t get around to it, don’t wait until next year! You have 11 more months to make this your best year ever.

We set goals and resolutions because we believe that there is something that we feel we need to change or improve upon. It is very healthy to set goals and it can have a tremendous effect on your future. Most successful people haven’t always been successful and people in great physical shape haven’t always been healthy. At some point they looked at themselves and where they were in life and decided that they wanted better, made plans to become better and followed through on the plans. We should follow the same model.

Take the time and look at the man/woman in the mirror and ask:

Could I be doing better?

Is what I am doing today going to lead me to where I want to go 10 years from now?

Do I look/feel the way I want to look/feel?

Am I happy?

By answering these questions you may find yourself looking at life a little bit differently. The world is filled with so many distractions that we can often forget our goals and our dreams. So it is important that we regularly and consistently reflect and review our goals and actions. I strive to take a few minutes to reflect daily, weekly, monthly and yearly. This let’s me know if I’m on the right track and on the road towards accomplishing my goals. Over years of goal setting, I have found that the act of reviewing my goals can often spur up motivation and energy as the pain of not achieving is realized. Take action today: review your goals, adjust them as needed and follow through.
