New Years Day is my absolute favourite day of the year. It is a day of reflection and also of hope. Knowing that this is the first day of a whole year ahead that is yet to be charted is exciting. I have control for the most part of how this year unfolds. Like a new beginning. So how do I choose to fill this year?
I have two lists. One for business and one for personal.
My business list includes getting more organized(and I sell organizational products), growing the business, focusing on sales,developing strategic business partnerships, and to create a buzz about who we are in North America.
My personal list includes simplifying my life, saying no more often so I can do the things I want to do, maintaining emotional and physical health, keeping in touch with people I care about, having fun, learning something new each day and being with people I love. Whew that is alot to balance.
Yesterday I heard our minister Ken Anderson deliver his sermon called "So Far, So Good". The essence of the sermon was about how we choose to respond to what is going on around us and to us. Do we see the glass as half empty or half full? Are we an optimist or a pessimist?
Ken suggests that while there are life events that happen that we do not have control over, we do though however have control over our spirit, our soul and our determination.
I choose this year to see it as half full and I will spend the year 2009 working on filling the other half. And work on balancing my two lists.
Happy and fullfilling New Year to each one of you.
