In a matter of hours, the year 2008 will come to a close. I don’t know about you, but this year has involved an extraordinary amount of change in my life, unforgettable experiences, both good…annnnd not so good. Among other things, I have attended to clients across states, lived in NYC, worked in Midtown, racked up frequent flier miles, lost clients, been on television, walked the runway, prepared tax returns, been on a soap opera, relocated to a much smaller town in VA, started a new job in a new industry, changed my living situation, added on a few pounds, attended weddings, taken my first cruise, been on a jet ski for the first time, laughed, cried, believed and doubted.
I love the end of a year, because I take the time to reflect on all that has happened over the course of the year and think about what I can do to improve myself and ways in which I want the next year to be EVEN BETTER. Each second which ticks by can never be recovered. The year 2008 will never repeat.
How is your life different from a year ago and what do you envision it to be a year from now?
As we all know, life does not always go as planned (to say the least), but how will you handle what is thrown at you? What new persons will come into your life and why? Who will leave your life (which can be a good or very sad thing). How can you improve your finances and reduce expenses for long-term prosperity? How will you make yourself THE BEST YOU possible in 2009?
Along with your resolutions, why not write down things you want to try next year. We think about these things often, but there’s power in written words. Create a list of places you’d like to go, restaurants you want to visit, classes you’d like to take, etc… When we make grocery lists, we head to the store and rarely leave out with LESS. Make a life list for yourself and you’re pretty certain to have an overflow of experiences far beyond your expectations (check out a cool site called 43 things where you can even share some goals with others and receive group support). No one needs to know everything on your list, it’s your agenda to accomplish in your own way and personally designated timeframe. I recently purchased a a 20x30 Project Board, where I intend to do this very same thing. It will be labeled "My IT-Vision for 2009".
Life is an incredible journey and it is so important to surround yourself with positive, inspired and motivated people. Enjoy the simple things life has to offer, find a way to laugh at the complex situations life hurdles your way. Believe me, I know it’s much easier said than done, but it’s all in how you look at IT...practice makes perfect, so keep trying to turn a new leaf and say NO to negativity and YES to inner peace. Embrace life changes and enjoy your evolution.
I believe 2009 will be a tough year globally, both on an economic and political level. However, with forward-thinking practices and a network of support, which also includes helping others as much as we can, a year from now we will reflect on ’09 and how incredible it was.
You can look backwards on occasion, but keep moving, only taking steps forward, right or left to get closer to IT.
