New Years's Resolution

Two young woman with a rainbow
Yes even if we are so busy preparing for Christmas, shortly afterwards we start with a new number in our calendar and call it a new year.
Do you do a new year's resolution?
Shortly before midnite? Or shortly after?
At least that is what I did!
And I guess with me like with you, a few days or weeks later is was forgotten.
Not totally, ever now and then a thought popped up: "Ahh, yes that was part of your New Year's Resolution" only to vanish as fast as it had appeared.
I invite you to a tiny change: Take an hour or two and sit down and think or contemplate about what you want to achieve during the next 12 Month
If you have no time now and want to do it after  Xmas, write it into your planner in the Phone or PC not to forget it.
No, it is no drama if you forget it. You never did it during the last 20, 30 or 40 years. So your life will not change if you forget it!
On the other hand, if you do not forget it, it may change - to the better!

You know that some people say we are what we are thinking. I like to phrase it a little different: We can achieve what we put our focus on. This of course means what we focus on is on our mind and hence we are thinking about it.
We are smart. Maybe not you and not me, but mankind. We learn a routine or we are trained to live according certain rules which build a routine and then we live it year in and year out.
It is not so different from animals on a farm. And I do not want to say it is bad!  Depending on our routine we have enough space and time for personal development and happiness.
What makes us different from farm animals is our effort to find love and to Make Love Work!
Is this one of your goals for the New Year?
It does not come easy and to Make Love Work is actually work.
So do not expect a one minute thought at a news years party will bring you much closer to your goal(s).
Again I suggest you sit down and plan your goals. If you have an Android phone you have a Google account and with it a Google calendar.  Put certain milestones of your plan into your calendar partly as a ToDo list and partly as a reminder.
I hope you can agree that a we rather reach a goal we plan and work for than one we call an ideal or a dream.
It costs you nothing, but as said before, it might have a great impact on your life!
