It is amazing what one day can do to change your perspective.  As you take a moment and celebrate your plans for this new year some ideas that can make this year go so very well for you.

It is called the Wheel of Life.  A simple process to assure progress in every area of your life.  Like a wheel, your life will role easily based on steps that you take each day to assure progress.

Tithing your talent

Next to each idea write down what is one thing you would like to accomplish in 2010 in each area of your life?  This needs to be written in a way that is simple and doable.  Go ahead dream big, take a big leap in your thinking of what you want to see happen.  What if you knew you would succeed at what you really wanted?  Yes just write it down.

Take each goal and make a next step list of how you will go ahead and make it happen.  Goals need to be specific where intentions are just ideas. 

Hold your self accountable by figuring out how and who will help you stay focused.  Find that accountability partner to make sure you have someone that keeps you on track that will not hold you back.

If you are, you should be doing the opposite. You should be judging yourself with the blessings that have occurred in your life. Instead of feeling blessed about having a nice house, big car, and a vacation home, you should be happy about having a warm home, with a great family, and wonderful friends. I know having nice things makes you feel like you have accomplished something and makes you feel a sense of power, but it isn’t what life is all about. Life has an abundance of opportunities that do not require a dollar amount, and the best part is there is no sales tax.

If not having nice things brings you down and makes you feel insignificant to others, then you are not realizing how blessed you really are. Instead of looking around and judging yourself with how much you own, judge yourself on the things that required no purchase. Sometimes we take the little things that are present in our lives to lightly and do not realize just how lucky we are to have them. I’ve met poor men that feel like the most blessed and luckiest person in the world, not because of how much money they had, but because they have an amazing family. I’ve met rich people that feel incomplete and empty because their whole life they have been working so hard to be successful, they lost sight of what is really important.

So if recently you have been measuring your success with how much money you make and how many material possessions you have, take a step back and realize that if you lost all those things who would still be there for you?

Your Family.

The type of joy where you couldn’t wipe the smile off of your face for anything in the world. The type of joy that makes you a nicer person to others and brings you closer to you loved ones .

I love it when something joyful pops into my life unexpectedly. A few weeks ago, one of my great friends called me up after a long time of not speaking to each other, and told me he is getting married. He was married before but unfortunately, things didn’t work out. He was really depressed there for a while, and I really felt for him. I was always there for him, but sometimes words can only heal so much. Well when he called me, he sounded like a completely different person. He was so full of joy about his recent engagement, that it was contagious. I found myself in a wonderful mood that couldn’t be broken. His joy was so vibrant it seemed to shine directly through to my soul. I could feel the remarkable power of goodwill and an optimistic outlook.

When was the last time you felt this way? If the answer is not in a long time, try and seek out joy. It is all around us, waiting for us to to open our hearts and accept love and happiness.

If you have recently been down in the dumps and not your usual happy self, do whatever it takes to get some joy in your life. For me, the little things seem to bring me a lot of joy. But if your not careful, these little things can pass you by and go undetected.

What brings you the most joy in your life?

Have you experienced these feelings recently in your life?

What hobbies or activities bring you happiness and peace of mind?

As I said, for me, its the little things in life.

The old saying is true, the best things in life ARE free.

In order for John to begin to move forward, we needed to create a feeling of safety in order for him to be able to open up to his wife and tell her the truth of the situation and also his true feelings. He was worried because he had never shared his feeling with her before and he did not know how she would respond. I let him know there was a higher percentage of her understanding if he would share the truth versus faking it.

I had him chose to focus on the outcome and to disclose information whether it was good or bad. John wanted his spouse to “get it” and needed to ask her if she had a better idea of if she would support him.

After facilitating a conversation with the two of them, John opened up to his wife and began to work on communication with her and to build a new relationship. John attended the seminar and learned tools that helped him communicate much more effectively and found that people began to respond to him differently because he showed up in a brand new way!
