Time To Finish Those ’07 Goals

It's hard to believe, but the final quarter of 2007 is just around the corner. If you're like me, you probably have a few things to achieve before the New Year rings in. If so, you might whittle your remaining goals down to your top three and give each a special push in the remaining three months of the year. Much can be done in 30 days. You can make a new habit of almost anything...daily walk, gratitude focus, eating more fiber, morning meditation. You can tick off several chunks of a multi-part goal that you've been meaning to do...like contributing to the Katrina Relief Fund (get a brochure, write a check, collect from neighbors, volunteer to help at the next fair). You can also "re-start" a lapsed goal and complete it in thrity days. For instance, drink water and put your would-be coffeee morning away each day for a month ($30-$60, depending on your java taste) and you'll get a jumpstart on your toys-for-tots donation. Or, maybe you "meant" to network at least one lunch a week this year and have fallen behind over the summer. Double up and thirty days might be all you need to get back on track. The best way to have no regrets at midnight on December 31st is to act now...one step at a time. It's never to late to move in the direction of your dreams; and it's never to early to imagine how you'll feel when you succeed.
