At the beginning of January, we reflect on the year just gone, and turn our dreaming mind to the possibilities of the year just arrived. We draw energy from this process, as we peer into this near future of could-bes.
I celebrated the arrival of 2014 like it was Bacchanalia in ancient Rome. I spent 14 hours soak in wine, dancing myself to ecstasy, and symbolically letting go of 2013. It was animal, and it was good.
Now, with the previous year released, it is time to look forward.
Often, New Year's resolutions don't last long before ending in disappointment. The aforementioned Facebook statuses could be part of that problem. Sometimes, sharing our goals with others can actually make us less likely to achieve them.
How can you achieve what you want to in the year ahead? How can you move beyond resolving to succeed to actual success?
Here are 3 simple ways to get started:
- Know your priorities. Any of your goals should align with your ultimate aims in life. If they don't, are they really worth pursuing?
- Do it for yourself. Just as with taking care of yourself, your goals shouldn't be about other people. They should be about you.
- Dream... then act. Our dream minds are powerful things. They help us to see what could be. But your dreams will remain nothing but unless you act. Do something now to move closer to your goal - something other than telling someone about it.
The best part? You don't need a new year to start making changes or working on goals. Your dreaming mind is always there, and you always have the power to act.
How will you better align your life with your ultimate aims in 2014?
