Congratulations, you made it. It’s a new day, month, year, and decade. The “first of the year” has arrived, so no more feeble excuses. It’s time to get to work on you.
“But today? It’s a holiday.”
Well Kid, any day you make progress on your goals is cause for celebration so you might as well get started. Do something. Have you written your goals down yet? Have you shared them with a supportive person?

[/caption]In a recent survey 38% of the respondents cited Support from Others as a major contribution to their success last year. This was second to old-fashioned Discipline and Persistence.
Of those same respondents, 55% were optimistic about accomplishing their goals in 2010. That’s a good start, although 100% would be better. Those who aren’t sure may be pragmatic or they may be a little too reliant on luck.

[/caption]For the nearly 20% who are beginning the year with low confidence there are two choices; break your goal into smaller manageable pieces, or find a new worthwhile goal. If you don’t think you can achieve your goal, how can anyone else?
Working on your goal will not always be easy so begin the habit of asking, “Does this move me closer to or farther from my goal?” If you listen to your intuition, you will always hear an answer. Heed what it tells you and choose to do the things that move you a little closer…everyday. There are 365 days in this year, what you do with them is up to you.
