Happy New Year Everyone!
I love the feeling of motivation, excitement, and action that surrounds the new year. For me the new year isn’t exactly a fresh start, it is a new season to continue planting seeds, watering them, and building on the progress I made the past year.
It is important to maximise these feelings of motivation, excitement, and action as they can help you generate the momentum you need to achieve your goals. Inaction creates more inaction, action creates more action, whatever you do, try and make sure you’re moving. The law of inertia states that if a body is at rest or moving at a constant speed, it will remain at rest or keep moving at a constant speed unless it is acted upon by force. So as long as we keep moving we are making progress.
My 3 words for this year are:
1. Focus- In order to achieve my goals I need to focus, but more importantly I need to focus on the process, not the outcomes.
“Any goal can be achieved if you break it down into enough small parts.” - Brian Tracy.
The road to achieving any goal is a matter of taking one step after the next. The process will take me right where I want to be. As long as I keep doing the right things at the right time, I know I will achieve more than I ever thought possible. You don’t climb a mountain by simply looking at the top.
2. Discipline- Discipline can help us fast forward a lot of our progress. If you make a conscious effort to achieve something and you are disciplined enough to see it through, you will achieve it.
“If you give yourself 30 days to clean your home, it will take you 30 days. But if you give yourself three hours, it will take three hours. The same applies to your goals, ambitions, and potential.” Elon Musk
3. Audacity- This year I am going to be audacious with my goals. I am setting big audacious goals that excite me, help me learn, and create forward momentum. My audacious goals are going to push me to step outside my comfort zone, think bigger and move toward my dream life. Even if I don't accomplish it all this year, I will have taken some steps towards achieving them and will be in a better position to achieve them.
“There is no passion to be found playing small, settling for a life that is less than the one you are capable of living.” Nelson Mandela
Think about 3 words you would like to use to describe your 2022, this will help you create a vision of what you want your year to look like.
Wishing you a great and successful 2022!
