Taking Charge Well, here we are welcoming in another new year! Are you ready for new opportunities, new dreams and new goals? Now is the perfect time to create the life and business you want. The challenge for most of us is turning those new possibilities into realities. How can we help the process along? Wayne Dyer, the spiritual guru, tells us we must truly believe in what we want before we can see it. Without holding the belief that what we want is possible we keep the doors of opportunity closed. In other words, we'll see it when we believe it. We can also use one of Stephen Covey's tenets for success. Covey claims we need to start with the end in mind. Having a clear picture of what we want to achieve is an essential part of our success. There is another ingredient to consider for turning possibilities into realities. That is the answer to these questions. Why do you want it? What are the compelling reasons that ignite your flame? What are the benefits to you? At the beginning of a new year we resolve to lose weight, start exercising, spend more time with family, save more money or make more money. In a short period of time those resolutions go by the wayside because we've lost our "why". We neglect to focus on the benefits that keep us inspired. Think of the Olympic athlete who practices and trains 8 hours a day to become a world class skater, gymnast, or skier. What keeps them motivated during those long grueling hours of daily practice? We can only imagine their dream is to achieve excellence in their field. The benefit is the possibility of winning a medal and participating in an extraordinary event with other athletes. What are the benefits to you for committing to your resolutions for more than a week or a month? Will you feel healthier, live longer, become financially secure, retire at age 50 or enjoy taking your family on a dream vacation? Have a vision of what you want and hold on to the belief that you can achieve it. Then focus on the benefits to help you stay on track to transform those new possibilities into your reality. Why not start 2003 by taking charge and creating the life you want? "In dreams begins responsibility." "You are what you think about all day long."
