Are you thinking about setting your personal goals? What are your resolutions for the new year?
This is a busy time of year. Personally and socially there are cards to send, gifts to buy, and parties to attend. Professionally there are reviews, audits, and projects to wrap up before the years end. It is no wonder that we tend to push everything that can be postponed off until after the holidays.
However this is an important time of year for you to take stock both personally and professionally to determine whether or not your life is on track. When was the last time you thought about your life goals? Are you on track to achieving those goals?
No matter how busy this time of year there is still time to take a quick measurement and evaluate your progress. After all, there will be plenty of time waiting in line, stopped in traffic, and wrapping presents when your mind is free to think of other things.
It is important to think about your personal goals before New Year's Eve for a number of reasons. Number one is that it is never a good idea to make life-altering decisions under the influence of alcohol. But there are other important factors as well. It is likely during various holiday parties and events that you will come into contact with a number of people that can inspire you or help you strive for your goals. It is also a popular holiday question so it is a good idea to have a ready answer.
Also this is a natural time to take stock of your life, your success, and your failure. Conduct a personal audit just as so many businesses do.
Of course, it is also important to have your goals clear in your mind so you can get right to work on them. You can start right away but certainly should begin by Jan. 2. You want to take full advantage of the new year. Do not delay until the holiday decorations are packed away and all the holiday leftovers consumed. Look ahead, plan ahead, and then take action.
It is important to have goals and dreams. They are what makes a successful, happy life possible. But it is also important to re-evaluate those goals from time to time and extremely important to act upon those goals.
Now is the time to set your personal goals and make your resolutions for the new year so you are ready to get to work on the first day of the new year.
