Guidelines For 2012: Making The Most of Life

Guidelines For 2012: Making The Most of Life
I am so excited about 2012.  Not that 2011 was a bad year. It had its challenges and disappointments but there were also those great moments…the baptism of my son and getting my iPad just to name a few. But just the possibilities of 2012 bring a smile to my face.  I’m sure you’re thinking every New Year is filled with possibilities.  What makes this year any different?  Well, this is the year I’ve decided to approach the possibilities differently. Here are three guidelines that will make your and my 2012 happen! 

 

Guideline #1

Keep Moving Forward…..As wonderful as we believe 2012 will be, we also know that we are going to face trouble.  Like the old folks say, “If you haven’t seen trouble just keep living.”  Don’t let the troubles paralyze you.  There may be times when all you can take is one step, take the step.  You can be sure that troubles won’t last always and when you’ve come through them, you will still be further along than you were when you started.

 

Guideline #2

Say Yes……This one can be tricky.  This is not a say yes to everything that comes along.  You must already know what your priorities are and you must be clear about your direction.  This one really is about fear and how quickly we say no to opportunities that come our way.  Saying no is easy.  It’s the comfortable thing to do; however, saying no does not move us forward.  Saying yes will keep us moving forward.

 

Guideline #3

Seize the opportunity……Alright, let’s do it!  When opportunity knocks, and it will, give it all the gusto you have.  Tackle it with your most creative thoughts and your most passionate ideas.  Get excited and watch others get excited with you!

 

With these guidelines, 2012 will take you to places you have never seen and have you doing things you never thought were possible.  Like I said, I am so excited about 2012!
