New Years 2010, How to Achieve Success!

New Years 2010…Can you believe it…. 2009 is ready to come to a close already and it is time to make your New Years resolutions 2010… STOP!  Don’t make them!

It is time for you to make those year end assessments  and take a really good look at where your at right now.  As you noticed I did not say make them New Years Resolutions!

Forget about those New Years Resolutions… They have not worked in the past, what makes ya think they will work this time around.

You are going to achieve success in 2010 only by a proper assessment of your current situation and then using it as your starting point to strategically move forward to achieving your goals!

Really take a look at what you did have success with in 2009 and how it was made possible, and look at the things that failed and why they failed.

I don’t want you to focus on how you got there, or who  you feel was responsible for getting you to your current place.

Take a real good look at where your at though right now… because no matter where that place is at… god or bad… it is your starting point for 2010.

It does not matter if you like the place your currently at or not.  The plain simple truth is where your at…is where your at.  Do not beat yourself up if you don’t like your assessment.  It is not about the good or bad you reveal in your assessment… Its how we move forward from today that really counts.

Take the time to acknowledge the strengths and positives you  find during your assessment and draw from them. Let them propel you forward.

Begin focusing on all of the things you currently have  that are positive no matter how big or small they may seem to you. You need to appreciate all of the things you currently have no matter how small or big what you have seems.

As we head into 2010 you need to go in with a positive attitude armed and ready for success.

Im quite sure that as you look at your current status you  will see that when 2009 is all said and done that there was  more said than more actually got done.

Guess what… It does not matter one bit…  What matters is that you are ready to move forward from this place you find yourself at and work towards your goals!  It is time to take action!

Without action you remain stuck in a rut.

Where your at right now is where you are going to start 2010 from.  You can’t go back and do a 2009 re-do, so why dwell on it.

2010 is yours to shape though.

I had a young guy get stuck in my yard yesterday when he spun out of control on the ice and ended up buried in a snowdrift.

Well he would still be there if he would not have taken some action to remove himself from the ruts he dug into my lawn.

Another guy came along and tied on a tow rope ready to pull him out but unfortunately he did it all wrong. 

He himself backed off into my lawn to tie on and when he went to pull the other guy out he buried himself in my  lawn as well.

He did not keep his vehicle on a solid base and ended up in the same place the other guy did.  STUCK IN MY Lawn that is now full of big Ruts!

The 3rd guy that came along knew what needed to be done and he proceeded to pull them both out and get them back on the road to reaching their destination.

As we end 2009 and start out 2010 here is my advice to you.

1.  Assess your current point in life and acknowledge it.  (remember it does not matter how or who got you there..  and don’t beat yourself up if you don’t like your assessment.)

2.  Focus on the positive things you have right now… No matter how big or small.

3.  Find someone or something that is already on a good solid base to tie on to.  (model Success… Find a mentor that cares about where your heading)

4.  Know that you can’t control some of the things that happen, but you can control your response to them!

5.  Celebrate every small successes you have. It is the small things that are going to keep you going.  (When I was in the Marine Corps I learned pretty fast it did not take a very big bomb to make a big hole on Impact!)  It is important to have your big lofty end goals but that is not where your focus should be.  Our big lofty goals will always be re-shaped and revised.  Focus on the samll action oriented achievable goals that are going to get you to the end results.  No matter how small or insignificant a success may look or seem… it is importnat to remember it was a success and it needs to be celebrated in a big way.

6.  I Can’t or it is impossible is no longer in your vocabulary for 2010.  Who the heck told you that you can’t?  Who the heck is telling you it is impossible.  It is nothing but a big lie.  (I know that all things are possible through Christ who gives me strength and there is nobody that will ever convince me differently ACCEPT ME!) Time for a new vocabulary!
