Isn\u2019t it TIME for CHANGE?<\/strong><\/p>

Well, I believe that it is finally that time of year\u2026 It is the new year! 2021 is here and I have decided that this is going to be a great year.\u00a0 No matter what is going I am plan on making the best of it!<\/p>

The first thing I do every year either on the 30th<\/sup> or 31st<\/sup> just before the first of the year I pick a word for the year, a word that I can always refer back to, to remind me of my goals for the year!\u00a0 Oh, and to be honest this past year got so crazy for me that I forget what my word was, whoops.\u00a0 So, for the last couple days I have seriously been thinking about my word for the coming year 2021.\u00a0 I tried all I could to pick one, but I have decided that there is a first time for everything and so this year I have decided to pick 2 words\u2026 EMPOWERMENT and FOREGIVENESS.\u00a0 Both words to me are powerful for sure but to me they signal Growth and Movement.\u00a0 Growth for oneself, living my truths and becoming the me I want to be, none of which could happened without forgiveness, understanding and the love of oneself for that matter!<\/p>

The second thing I do is I ALWAYS ask myself during the last few days of a year if \u201cit is time to make changes\u201d.\u00a0 I always giggle at myself because, if you know me then you know I am ALWAYS making changes, but am I always making changes that \u201cis for a better me or changes that are for a more enhanced me!\u00a0 I find the key word here is enhanced<\/u><\/em>!<\/p>

Listen, reality is, every New Year people make \u201cNew Year\u2019s Resolutions\u201d.\u00a0 People say I am going to lose weight\u2026 I am going to be happier\u2026. I am going to make up with my kids\u2026 I am going to take a trip\u2026 I am going to learn a new trade\u2026 or I am going to get a new job\u2026. Sound familiar? Of course, it does we have all done this.<\/p>

But here is the kicker\u2026. None of, us, including me, will ever get any of these \u201cResolutions\u201d done unless we actually confront why we have not been successful at this \u201cresolution concept\u201d before and then take the time to make a plan and put it into effect.\u00a0 Few people understand WHY these resolutions don\u2019t work. But the reason is simple: They are too\u00a0broad<\/em>, there is to long of a time line, there is no accountability and well, there are too many distractions.<\/p>

New Year\u2019s resolutions fail because:<\/p>
