I do love the beginning of the year. Because my birthday is in early January, I have a double dose of "newness." Even though every day, every minute, is a fresh beginning, there is something about the date January 1 that gets me excited. I don't really set out goals, per se, but rather things to focus on. That seems to be working for me now, but I'm recognizing that if I want to get some major projects done, then goals and a schedule will be helpful. Thanks for an invigorating article It’s true.

Goals have to be inspiring and totally attached to our true purpose and passions. Clarity is the key to all success and embracing the journey to accomplish what we want in life is certainly a way of establishing clarity and purpose. The book sounds great ;) Hi Jonathan, I totally agree with what you are saying here. Goals have to be inspiring and totally attached to our true purpose and passions.

But before we can truly feel the motivation that allows us to put forth the right effort, we need to know the reason and it needs to be important to us. Instead of motivation we might think of it as motive-ation! Hi Amit, A person can accomplish just about anything if they have a good enough reason.

I like what you say that if you don't get the results you simply change the way you apply your efforts. Efforts always creates some type of result. I don't make resolutions but I do have a word for 2012 and that is to SHINE.... In love and light, Nancy Very true and a very good post my friend!
