Working Backward!

Reinvention. Renew. Redo... yea, how many of us would like a redo?

A new year. A new approach. A new me?

Thinking about where I've been this last year and what I've done, I sigh. Not a bad sigh, but a sigh of realization of who I've become and more importantly... where I want to GO! ;-)

I like it. Ok, I love it! It is good, and real- a smarter, and savvier me.

So, where do you want to be? Two years from now? Ten years from now? TOMORROW?

Try this... instead of looking ahead, look "back."

First, write down where you want to be 30 years from now. Hopes, goals, dreams. And what you hope to accomplish. Yep- this one is crucial, because EVERY choice you make from NOW on... yes, NOW on- ok, seriously, I mean from now ON, affects the future.

Next, 15 years. What would make you happy in business, in relationships, in life? (For me that's age 55- yikes. Talk about some reality!) And then write down what you can do today to ensure you reach those goals. This is no time to try to cheat REALITY!

Then 5... then 3... then 1 year from now. And then today.

A change of perspective. A deepening of heart.

Forget the redo, I'm going to RELISH in the now... and reach! (BIG ;-)
