Your diamonds are not in far distant mountains or in yonder seas; they are in
your own heart and soul, if you but dig for them. A thousand-mile journey always begins with a small step. Are you ready to take that step? So very often, when we make a new beginning in our lives, we start out with firm resolutions and goals:
Time passes by and your goals are still ‘distant dreams’. There is no point crying over spilt milk. Concentrate on what you have accomplished in the previous year and the right things that you have said. Then ask yourself:
The answers to all these questions will start redefining your life in a more
positive way. This week, become aware that you already possess all the inner resources that are required for a high quality you! You are the catalyst for your own change.Response to challenge There is nothing more effective to changing the way you live than by keeping a record of the events and feelings that you capture on your journey. Make some time this week to buy a beautiful diary. This will be your faithful companion, your confidante. The first entry must reflect the accomplishments of the past year. Make a list of the twenty things or more you are most proud of having achieved over the last year. It can be a list of both personal and professional growth. Take some time off, maybe while brushing your hair, on your morning walk, early morning in bed, commuting to work, to reflect and add to your list. At the end of the week, hold a ‘get together’. Share your list with your team and celebrate what each of you has accomplished. There is glory in your strength. Take pride in what you have done. If some of you feel that this is a case of ‘blowing your own trumpet’ remember: only by having faith in yourself, can you have faith in others. Make a note in your diary: My twenty most eventful accomplishments of the year are: 1. ______________________ 2. ______________________ 3. ______________________ And so on… Start the process now, don’t procrastinate! |
