Happy New Year!
Well it’s that time of year again ~ making New Year’s resolutions..
Are you one of the many people who make New Year’s resolutions each year? How has that worked out for you? If you able to keep them, congratulations! But if you are one of the many who let them fade away and never follow through with them, you may enjoy this piece written by Burke Hedges about resolutions versus intentions.
I don't know about you, but many people (including myself) use this last week of the year to make their New Year Resolutions. We do it every year…and I have a question for you: How did you do last year on the resolutions you set for yourself? Did you keep them? Or has the desire to do something else, or slide back into your old ways made your resolutions fall by the wayside? If you find yourself making a list of resolutions each year and then forgetting them by February 1st, I've got a tip for you. Instead of making resolutions, make "Intentions". What is an "Intention"? An Intention is a purpose held in your mind. It's a desired goal you want to experience. According to the dictionary, and intention is: "An act or instance of determining mentally upon some action or result. The end or object intended. The purpose, or attitude towards the effect of one's actions or conduct." Intentions are more than a hope or a wish. They're a steadfast and fixed idea. When you think about your intentions, you think about having, being or doing something and it gives you pleasure. There is power in your intention. Your compelling reason for working your business drives you to intention. It's your "why". You probably have it written down somewhere. Take a few moments this week to go back and look over those compelling reasons that caused you to seek out and get started in your business. What "Intentions" can we fix in our mind that will help drive us closer to our desired goals we want to experience? It's not too late to dig deep and come up with a focused purpose, a desired goal you want to experience this year. To your success in 2010! _____________________________________________________________ Burke Hedges is an author, speaker and entrepreneur.
