HAPPY NEW YEAR… It’s time to thrive in 2005!!!

This year I commit myself to supporting you and your goals through the sharing and the writing of the BLACKNJ Monday Motivation articles. My sole purpose is to ‘Motivate you Beyond the Moment’ so you may thrive in 2005 and beyond.

My intention for these articles is to engage you, challenge you and inspire you to take action consistently. Consistent action of any form breaks old habits.

So, as the clock ticked and tocked its way to 2005, what were your first thoughts in entering this New Year? What did you tell yourself you were going to do differently this year, better this year? How are you going to ensure that by the close of December 2005 you are celebrating the goals you have accomplished for yourself?

Are you really ready now to decrease your debt, lose those unwanted pounds, start or expand your new business idea, find enjoyment in your career, end those relationships that sabotage your success, or forgive those who have hurt you? Whatever your intention, it’s time to come alive in 2005.

Right now, there is a wave of positive energy all around filled with people just like you who have visions and goals for this year. I invite you to get on board and ride the wave to your success. There is no need to think you have to do it on your own. Put your pride to the side and ask for help.

The key to this tip is not to talk to your friends, colleagues or co- workers about it. Only ask and share with those who have achieved success in the area you need assistance in. Many people wonder why one month after the New Year they are back to repeating old habits from 2004, have lost the motivation, and doubt themselves.

The answer is simple. Your friends who would love to be informed of your latest happenings and plans may not be in position to move your vision forward. If you want to lose weight, be healthier, earn more money, get out of debt, manage your time better, or be in a relationship that you love, simply ask and learn from those who have done it. My New Year’s gift to you is to remember that success in any area of life leaves clues. Find them, follow them and you will be sure to thrive throughout 2005.

Happy New Year to you... Make this year count!
