The New Year 2015 is just starting. It is like a blank canvas upon which to
paint. But what shall you paint?
It can be helpful as you begin this year – this “painting” –
to pay attention to your desires,
your designs and your details that you might place on this blank canvas called
2015.
Here is one way to begin to envision what your masterpiece
could include:
1.
Some
learnings and experiences from last year (2014). Jot down five or more that you value and can
inspire your creation in this New Year. Include some things that didn’t work
out which can be valuable learnings. And
remember your successes!
2.
Some
things you want to accomplish in this New Year (2015). Write down at least seven things you aspire to
be and do. Be as specific as possible
and listen attentively to what you “really
want.” Dream big! Pay attention to what “already is” as well as
“what could be.”
3.
Your
first three actions to take for your top 3. This step allows you to move from a “nice
idea” toward an “actuality” that you are creating. It is useful to include people and coaches in
your planning. Then begin.
These things you have attentively chosen allow you to begin
to sketch the picture you will be painting in this New Year.
So….what will you create?
