Closing 2010 and Welcome 2011
What is New Year's?
You've all heard of New Year's Resolutions and for some they become goals for the coming year, plans for January or at least a thought for a fleeting moment. ☺
As I enter 2011, with all the changes a new year has to greet me, I must really remember those things that inspire me. I must take the time to embrace life, share a moment, and feed my passions.
Everyone has an answer... answers to your banking and financial future, answers to your marketing and business plans, answers to your cooking and kitchen needs, answers to your body size or performance. Just spend one night and watch or listen to late night TV.... I've watched late night commercials for P90X or other "enhancements" and yes I find myself saying "WHAT THE ???" But wait, there is an answer that is not in their product even during the "limited time to act" promotion, these businesses, people and products are doing one thing in common, they are moving on their ideas, products and programs. Now I am not suggesting anyone dive into late night promotions, HSN, or other magnets to your money. Now on one flip side of this point sits the reality that people are buying this stuff otherwise they wouldn't be continuing the commercials (TV Spots are Expensive), Billy Mays was not a poor man, trust me, he may be dead, but everyone knows this pitchman and people bought what he was pitching. What I am suggesting is this.....
Whatever your passion, Whatever your dream....spend some time reaching out in 2011
Enjoy the gifts of life, make a commitment to a better you.
We all have areas we can improve; if we didn't, we would cease to exist and our jobs would be done, never stop learning.
Put away your arrogance, you only impress yourself and at the end of the day where do you want to be.....
As for me, my 2011 journey is only one chapter and I am excited to share it with you.
~~~Happy New Year~~~
Please remember three things this holiday as you sing your Auld Lang Syne*, be safe, don't drink and drive, and be nice....... Yes, I said nice...... If you have to think about this one, take a moment or two but remember that person you are nice to might just be that person who feeds your passion and enables your dreams.
*Remembering a little history....Auld Lang Syne is the Scottish Poem written by Robert Burns in 1788 referring to "times gone past", "the good old days" and with most New Year's Celebrations as the clock turns 12 the song begins to welcome the new year. Most know the song, however; many don't know the lyrics.
