Robert H. Schuller used to say that "If you fail to plan, you are planning to fail."
More than 20 years ago, I began each day with a reading from "The Language of Letting Go" by Melody Beattie. Besides the "Seek Balance" excerpt used on the "Balance Page" of this website, I began to set yearly goals for myself, based on the following excerpt from Melody's book.
GUIDE FOR SETTING NEW YEAR GOALS
I would make some time to review and answer the questions posed as honestly as I could, type them up using the second page as a template, print a copy for myself and put it somewhere so I would come across it occasionally throughout the year. To my amazement, I would find that I was working on or accomplishing my goals.
I challenge my readers to try this - you will be amazed how well it works and how good you feel having reaching some or all of your goals!
'Til the next time . . .
