Ready. Set. REINVENT! -

It’s almost the new year. It’s the time where everything that didn’t work or didn’t happen this year goes in the trash and we get to start anew. I love reinvention. I love when people all around the world are on the same page; reinventing themselves to become more… to bring a fresh perspective into our lives. This time of year it is easy to take on things that otherwise seem difficult. It is this time of year when EVERYTHING is possible. We allow ourselves to explore our dreams and to get organized to make them happen. I’m not talking about little resolutions; lose 10 pounds, drink more water, exercise 3 times a week. I’m talking about looking at your life and choosing to be MORE. The new year provides the opportunity for each of us to inventory who we are and what we are doing with what we’ve got. It provides us with the opening to select a different path; to be remarkable.

Chad Fowler, techie and CTO of InfoEther, Inc. said “the key to getting started down the path of being remarkable in anything is to simply act with the intention of being remarkable.” Indeed, we must be clear about what we want and take committed, intentional action to get closer every day. We need a plan. A structure. A routine. We need to see the end goal and the path straight to it. Aristotle said that we are what we repeatedly do. What will you DO this year? What is your plan? What end goals do you want to keep in sight?

As we all look with possibility to 2012, here are some quick tips to making it the best year of your life:

1. Tell the truth. What is working, what is not. You are 100% responsible for the quality of your life. Are you really willing to change?

“The first principle is that you must not fool yourself, and you are the easiest person to fool.” ~Richard P. Feynman, Nobel Prize-winning physicist

2. Don’t overwhelm yourself. Choose no more than 3 areas to focus on in the new year.

3. In those areas, create clear, concise, measurable goals and a way to track your results consistently.
