I agree with you complete Jon that the true changes happen when action and purpose are applied. I've got my steps laid out for the changes we are planning this year and it all begins by taking one step at a time. 2012… there is so much news about the end yet I have tremendous optimism about what this year has to offer.

It's great reading your article here. This year is indeed a year of action for me since I've taken only a random approach to my goals for the last five to six years. Your suggestions are exactly the positive direction I needed. Thank you very much! ~laya.lee Hi Jonathan!

It is easy to just keep doing what we are doing and not notice the lack of real progress. I think of it as the ebb and flow of personal growth and we all go through it. Sounds like you are ready make things happen. I love that gathering of energy that takes place right before we launch into action.

I'm actually a little with you on that one. I've sort of decided to do away with my strict To Do List of Goals and instead have really put the time in effort into creating a mission statement for this year & choosing the general scope of what it is I really want to focus and expand on. I want to send more time this year BEING & DOING, and not just DOING.

I just got back from living abroad for year followed by moving to a new location from New Jersey to FL (Beaches!) I thought a lot about what you said here - about committing to it, about really, truly taking the steps, about dedicating myself to focusing and expanding my skills and mind. I've actually labeled this year my Year of Me. I was never in a rut before, but I've felt I've been lost in limbo more or less for far too long. It's time to fully take control of my life!! :) In the end, as Leroy Allison said, "We spend too much time living in the ‘what if’ and need to learn to live in the ‘what is." - LAUREN :) Lauren Rains (The Mad to Live) recently posted..<a href="http://www.themadtolive.com/2011/09/the-only-book-you%E2%80%99ll-ever-need-to-start-a-passionately-curious-and-successful-business/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">The Only Book You’ll Ever Need to start a Passionately Curious and Successful Business</a> Hey Jonathan,
