New Year, New You

By Laura Schroeder

Every year, people set New Year’s resolutions and become discouraged when they can’t keep up with them. There are a couple of reasons for this. The first, is they make unrealistic resolutions. Are you really going to give up something you love, such as chocolate? The second reason is that there is no real life changing passion behind such a resolution.

I have found that when I have made a real change,there was a life changing event that caused a shift in attitude, which led to a positive result. This was not necessarily at the turn of the new year. There have been three examples to date that I can recall.

The first is humorous, yet still an example of how experience affects our thought process. In the sixth grade, my neighborhood friends had discovered a discarded fortune telling game in the alley. I didn’t feel comfortable playing with it. Just to spook me, they asked it what year I was going to die. It said 1982.

This was the year the planets aligned, I graduated from high school and turned eighteen. In the news, doomsday predictors said the world would come to an end. That never happened. I graduated from high school. I turned eighteen. Well, as silly as it sounds, I waited up until midnight, December 31, 1982 and when I didn’t die, I fell asleep. That had been on my mind for six years.

The second and most profound incident was my decision to go back to college and finish my degree. My children were in about first grade. I was fired from a part-time kindergarten aide position because I misspelled a word and because I wasn’t firm enough in disciplining the children.

As I walked home, I was humiliated. With tears rolling down my cheek, I pulled my baseball cap over my sunglasses. As I was doing some self talk, I vowed that I would go back to school and get a degree, so I could be my own boss.

When I arrived home, there happened (coincidence or destiny) to be a brochure in the mailbox about a returning adult program at a local college. I made an appointment with the financial aide office and enrolled in school. It was the best decision I’ve ever made. Once I obtained my degree, I obtained a professional job, which opened new doors of opportunity and confidence to try new things.

The third incident was earlier this year, when I survived a car accident that could have ended in serious injury or even death. Somehow, after the accident, I didn’t let small things bother me anymore. I decided that the world would have to solve it’s own problems. I am still available to help others, but try to go to sleep at nice with peace on my mind.

As you think about your New Year’s resolutions, don’t stress over things you can’t change. Change the things you can and decide what really matters.

By Shawn Lim

Do you want to make your goals come true? If you are, continue to read on because you are about to discover the 3 simple steps how you can make your goals come true in your life.

Do you know why most people fail to achieve their goals? The answer is because they are not committed toward their goals. If you are committed, you will do whatever it takes to make your goals come true. Therefore, learn to put in 100% commitment to achieve your targets and follow through these 3 simple steps below…

1. The first step is of course, to write down your goals on a piece of paper. This is one of the most fundamental steps to manifest what you want in your life. When you write down something, you are making it more tangible and you will better remind yourself about your goals. It is as if you are making a promise to yourself that you will achieve what you have written down.

2. The second step is to paste the paper somewhere you can see all the time. You want to constantly remind yourself about your goals and condition your goals into your subconscious mind. After that, tell 10 people about your goals and how you are going to achieve them. If you are committed toward your goals, you definitely will do this.

3. The final step is to do something every single day to achieve your goals. No matter what action you are going to take, you must do something each day to ensure that you are moving toward your goals constantly. Most people fail to produce the results they want in their life because they do not follow through and procrastinate most of the time. Therefore, be consistent and take action everyday.

Do you want to make your dreams and goals come true in a simple, easier and faster way? Are you really serious to live the kind of lifestyle you desire and do you want to be more successful?
