It's getting to be that time again. Even if you don't do New Year's Resolutions yourself, you know a ton of people who do. It'll be all over the news soon about how we make goals and then don't follow through.

Turn off the TV when they say that last part. You know that what you say to yourself, what you listen to and allow into your head, these are the things your brain and body will follow. No matter what time of year it is, you have to believe you can accomplish your goals to have any chance of doing so.

I find that the easiest way to figure out where I want to go next is to look back and see where I've been. Life almost never goes in a straight line (it took me awhile, but I finally figured that out), but the curves and circular routes will generally tell us something about  ourselves that we can use to apply to the future, or to change.

As I usually do, I'm going to spend the rest of December thinking about these things. I'll share my thoughts on what I find on Mondays. I'd love to hear what you discover, too. What have we accomplished that we want to do more of? What do we want to do less of? How do we want to grow, and what do we want to learn?

Most importantly, what two or three things will we focus on this year? If we only focus on a few things, we have a much greater chance of succeeding!

Let's all think about it for a week and come back next Monday to share what we've found. I think 2013 is going to be an amazing year!
