Thinking about thinking about your New Year’s resolutions? It’s always in repparttar

back of our minds as we wend our way through repparttar 101710

holiday merriment and another year comes to a close. If you’re thinking, “@^&#*, repparttar 101711

same thing will be No. 1 as was No. 1 last year!” why not try something different?rriment. Another year coming to an end.

New Year … new start, but did you know that most people have already failed with their list by January 15th. If you don’t want this to happen to you (again), consider getting repparttar 101712 “thing” that can make those resolutions works: a coach. It can be repparttar 101713 prime ingredient for your success.

Coaching developed to meet a need that wasn’t being met. We’ve all wished at one time or another we had a coach, like repparttar 101714 pro athletes do; someone to help us be all we could be. Someone to shine some light on those corners, and remove repparttar 101715 obstacles we seem to keep throwing in our paths without knowing why.

Coaches can help you get mindful!

Coaching is not for getting “fixed.” It isn’t to be confused with therapy. Some people enjoy repparttar 101716 benefits of both therapy and coaching, which demonstrates repparttar 101717 two are not repparttar 101718 same thing. Coaching supplies something therapy cannot, and vice versa. In coaching, we focus on strengths, positive psychology, emotional intelligence, and forward movement. It’s rapid and effective.

“Oh,” you may be thinking, “So it’s like having a friend.” No! Coaching is work and takes a trained professional.

Friends ·Have their own agenda and issues ·Aren’t objective ·Aren’t trained or experienced ·Have a unidimensional relationship with you – you know before you go what they’re going to tell you to do. There are no surprises. ·Will give you answers

Vocalized goals + Action=Realized dreams

WEEKLY WISDOM NEWSLETTER Vocalized goals + Action=Realized Dreams December 10, 2003

Do you have a dream? Is there something you want to do, to achieve, or to complete?

How close are you? How many people have you told about it? Do you have a written plan on how to get there?

And repparttar most important question – Are you taking action?

This much is absolutely true: If you never vocalize your dreams, and you never come up with even repparttar 101709 most rudimentary plan on achieving them; and if you never take action I can guarantee that those dreams will never happen.

However I can tell you this as well. Many times in my life I have come up with a dream that appealed to me and then made it happen. The most important part is that no one made it happen but me.

Sure I had lots of help along repparttar 101710 way. And yes, there were many apparent ‘lucky’ breaks just when they seemed to be needed repparttar 101711 most. This will happen to you as well.

Let me tell you why. I believe with all my heart that we are part of repparttar 101712 energy of repparttar 101713 Universe. This energy that makes up repparttar 101714 Universe answers to us in a way, and in fact wants desperately to help us in any way possible.When we express a desire, and then take action towards that desire, repparttar 101715 Universe has no choice but to help us achieve it!

That assistance will come in ways we would never have thought of! But come it will!

One of repparttar 101716 latest goals completed for me was completing a roof on our new barn. This might not sound like a lot, but I assure you it is. To complete this goal, we had to clear more than 2 acres of land, clean it up and plant it in grass. 4500 feet of siding lumber had to be cut from repparttar 101717 logs and stacked to air dry. Over 60 stumps, and repparttar 101718 roots and debris from repparttar 101719 trees had to be piled and burned. The barn had to be designed, drawn and all repparttar 101720 materials bought and delivered. (BTW, this is no little barn. It has 4 stalls with two 1100 square foot apartments over it!)
