excuses.” Arlen Price
We are only 8 days from 2013 (give or take a few days depending on when
you’re reading this). Can you believe it’s practically 2013? The year has flown
by – hasn’t it?
What a year it’s been. I know for me this year has been filled with so
many changes, challenges, curve balls, ups, downs and of course my favorite
things – possibilities. And, when I look at just about everyone else around me,
I see that these exact same things have played out in their lives as well.
In fact, so much has happened this year, that I feel like I can’t even
remember January. It feels like ages ago. Is it the same for you too?
Over the last year, there were so many lessons and experiences that
came our way. Perhaps you’ve had:
those situations that tested your ability to forgive and keep
moving forward;
those times where the Chief Negativity Officer in your mind
needed to be reeled in so you could manage through fears and doubts;
those times when you had way too much going on and you just needed to
slow down, put things into perspective, and take a Time
In;
a realization that it was time to finally make a tough decision about
something that’s been weighing on you.
Over the last year there really were so many experiences and lessons
that came our way. Every single thing we experienced, has in one way or another
strengthened us and set us up to take advantage of the future in a new and
improved way – even if that’s sometimes hard to see.
It’s Time to Gear Up For 2013
So, the time has come to get ready for 2013 and set ourselves up to
make it one of the best years we’ve ever had.
Isn’t it time to make the things you really want happen? I know I am
committed to doing that and if you are too, I have discovered the 7 specific
steps that must be taken and a roadmap that can be used.
But, for now, let’s make sure we are getting all the excuses out of the
way.
In January, many of you committed to not make anymore excuses in 2012.
I am so glad you did, and of course am hoping you will join me again. Because
it’s time to take a quantum leap. Doesn’t that sound good?
Here’s a reminder of the list of 59 excuses we are committed to not
making. If you have made any of these in 2012, it happened and its over – no
need for regrets or to beat yourself up.
Today is a new day and 2013 will have a whole new set of possibilities
just sitting there waiting to be taken advantage of. Get rid of all the excuses
TODAY so you can see your possibilities, choose them, and most importantly
seize them.
