Two reasons:
Strike that, three reasons:
1. I have been working on my resolutions;
2. I went of a long vacation;
3. I am trying to figure out how to fit blogging into my life.
So my apologies to those of you who have asked where my blogging disappeared to.
But back to my resolutions. Resolutions? It's not even close to January 1st, why, oh why am I talking resolutions?
Because we need goals. We need to be working towards something. I have three resolutions that I have been grappling with all of 2009. And now that we are fast approaching fall, I want to make sure that I have no regrets. So toil I must and I am on the verge, with at least one, of success. My projection is that two of the three, if not all three, will be done by this New Years Eve.
Why aren't people comfortable with goals? From what I have seen I think they don't want to fail. Fear of failure equals no goals. If I don't have ambitions I can't be hurt, right? So they live their lives putting out small fires and big fires, sometimes happy and sometimes sad. And there is nothing wrong with that, if that is what they want.
But what if you are not satisfied with that sort of life? It's not too late folks. Revive those old resolutions you may have thought of nine months back or create one or two today. Make sure they are measureable; you have to be able to identify when you have succeeded in order to know you are done. Also, make sure they are scaleable. Can they be done before the last day of the final month of the year?
Why the 31st of December? Well you have to have new ones right? I already have my first goal picked for 2010, and it is a doozy :).
Have a great day and a wonderful week.
