2018, New Years Resolutions?

At the beginning of our marriage we made a habit of writing down our new years resolutions, but after a few years we made some changes and started doing things differently. Every so often we take a moment to reflect on our life, especially when we face change. What we've learned is that with time comes change, whether we like it or not. The world will continue to change and grow, now are you willing to change and grow along with it? 

Instead of writing down our new years resolutions and focusing on accomplishing just those goals, we've created a system of setting weekly and/or monthly goals in all areas of our life. This allows us the flexibility to keep an open mind and welcome new goals throughout the year. To be successful in accomplishing these goals we had to be able to accept and adapt to change to allow growth and opportunity.

In the beginning we noticed the most significant change we had to make was our mindset. We had to see potential in everything and not only to search for opportunities, but to create them ourselves. We've faced challenges along the way and continue to until now, but we try to remain focused and stay positive in every challenging situation we face.

What helps us stay on track is redirecting our focus by referring back to our goals. Listed below are some tips on how you can set your goals:

• Create a Goals note on your phone or notebook

• Determine weather you want to set weekly/monthly/quarterly goals

• Create a habit- have a designated time or day for reviewing your goals

• Set both long/short term goals

• Refer back to the goals you've created to help you stay focused and motivated

We encourage you all to set more than New Years Resolutions! Don't limit yourselves to just those goals you set in the beginning of the year. Continuously seek opportunity to accomplish more to get you closer to a more successful you!
