Game Plan 2007

Do this: Find a serene and relaxing place. Sit comfortably. Get your favorite drink (alcoholic drinks don't count). Grab a pen and a notebook. Write down 10 things you would like to achieve, acquire or be in a position for this year. Regardless of time, money and other limitations.

These 10 things are what would change your life. It takes a moment to do this task but a lifetime of great ecstasy. I was reading this article by Paolo Coelho, titled Closing Cycles and it ends with a powerful line, "Stop being who you were and change into who you are." Most of the time, it's this piece of paper what will change us. Share these with family, friends and whoever, the universe might just find a way of bringing it closer to you.

Pray for God's guidance and strength over the goals that you created. Sometimes, we just have to realize that it's not on our time but HIS; however; HE only helps those who help themselves.

Instead of the cliche of making a new year's resolutions, kick off 2007 with goal setting.

This January, we focus on Time Management and Goal Setting. You may want to share 1, 2 or 10 of your goals through the comments part of this entry.
