Although it has taken me a few days to get my head together, 2009 is my year to shine.

Thanks for the great advice.

Sean: I am a great fan of writing down goals, as evidenced by the ten pound Monarch Franklin planner that goes with me to work every day. It works. The New Year is simply a pre-designated time for me to chart out my goals for the next year. "Seeing success means tearing the meat from the bones of our word, rather than leaving the flesh to rot on a moldering carcass." I love this. What vividly stunning imagery! I'm printing it out and putting it on my monitor so I see it every day. Dang, I love words. Lance: Here's a word for you---synergy. Randi’s last blog post..December Fun

My year goes from August to August so I am mid -stream and this year I made all of my goals for turning 60 two years ago, building on my goals I made for turning 50. I agree with writing things down...then they do start to work out in your life, mind and heart goals work if you lay the right foundations. I wrote a post early on called 88 successes. My Honey and I made a list of things we wished to accomplish in our marriage and when we moved 13 years ago into a new house we found the list of goals and we had accomplished all 88 things with no reference back to the sheet of paper. We have been married for 30 years. I am working to change my attitude about making money this year, that is the only major tweak I have made to my goal plan The quote is great as is you writing . Thank you for refreshing our resolve. Patricia’s last blog post..An Introduction:

I enjoyed this post and everyone’s comments on goal-setting. Great things to think about as we begin a new year.

Don’t forget that stating clear goals for yourself is just the first step. Besides taking consistent action, work on: building your belief (with a vision board, affirmations or specific writing exercises), setting yourself up for success (eat for energy, plan ahead, organize your writing sessions for efficiency & productivity) and surrounding yourself with supportive friends and colleagues.

These actions will help you move from goal to reality.
