Time to think

Posted under Motivational

I’m not ready to stop playing  Christmas yet. Are you?

I hope you have had a wonderful Christmas, and that you are looking forward to the New Year.

I’m feeling more optomistic than I have in a long time. I don’t have an explanation for that other than I’ve been working hard to learn many new things. We all have to reach a tipping point at some point, right?

I’m spending the next few days with my daughter. We’ll be hanging out, baking cookies, eating, and I’m sure there will be some shopping involved.

And I’m taking a look at what I want to accomplish in January. Not the whole year, but just January. It’s so much easier to stay focused on a smaller project.

How about you? Do you have big goals for the new year? How about setting realistic goals for just next month? I’m willing to bet you’ll accomplish things much more quickly when you take a series of little steps instead of trying to tackle one big mountain.

I hope you enjoy the rest of the holiday season. Now that most of the bustle is over, I hope you’ll find some peace and tranquility as we head to the new year.

See you soon -

Dream Wasteland

Posted under Misc. Stuff, Motivational

 

We’re better than halfway through the month of January. What’s happened to your goals for this year? Have they been put on the shelf? Forgotten about?

For me, January is sort of a clean-up month. It’s the time when I prepare for reaching my goals during the course of the year. The Christmas decorations are taken down. The figurines have all been washed and put back in their places, including all 27 of the porcelain flowers. My house slate is clean.

I had a couple of tech problems still hanging over my head from last year. I have taken focused action to resolve them. That’s why you haven’t heard from me – I’ve had my head down and totally focused on trying to solve these problems. 2 out of 4 have been solved. Then comes taxes…. sigh.

I know for me – trying to attack the goals is a recipes for disaster. You have to do your prep work, and make it fit into your life somehow. Does that make sense? Like Will Smith says in the following video, you don’t set out to build a wall, you set out to lay one brick as perfectly as you can lay it, and eventually you have a wall.
