NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTIONS... WHERE DO YOU STAND ON THIS???

First, let me say, I hope everyone had a very Happy New Year's Eve last night.  It seems for the most part that ActiveRain members stayed close to home.  So did I. 

It is now the start of 2010, a new decade, and I'm hoping everyone is getting off on the right foot.  We all made resolutions of one form or another.. and I'm sure we are ALL going to stick with them.. at least for the first week. LOL.

I've seen a change in real estate, it is moving forward.. Mayor Bloomberg of NYC stated the same thing last night on NBC.  With this I am going to try to maintain my same resolution as last year, and that is an attitude change.  There were a few times, that I fell off the wagon on this.... but I got right back up again. 

I'm not looking to change everyone else.. just me.  I'm tired of the negativity.. and everyone complaining about *something*, if not everything.  When I thought about it.. not much comes of this.  Complaining, might make you feel better for a moment.. but not in the long run.  Stress, and negativity puts a toll on people physically, we become drained, fatigued causing us to come down with colds. 

So, what I am going to do, is be positive.  Not jump into the whirlpool of negativity, and have a PMA...POSITIVE MENTAL ATTITUDE. I'll try to find a silver-lining to things.. and maybe bring a smile to someone in the process. 

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE... MUCH HEALTH AND PROSPERITY TO EVERYONE THAT READS THIS!!

What are your resolutions for 2010.. and do you think you will stick with them?

Attitude attributes to 90% of the outcome. Good or bad. Surround yourself with positive people and you will be positive too. I feel off the wagon a couple of times in 09' but quickly picked myself back up. Best to you in 2010!

Val...You can never be too rich or too thin as the saying goes...personally I would like to be Taller, but I don't think I have a shot at that (unless I have my legs lengthened) so I'll stick with income and weight loss as my goals.

Steve.. Do you remember the 70's???  There is always platform shoes to help with your height?  However, I am sure your are fine right where you are... how tall are you?  You know I was going to ask. :)

Good luck today with your client from out of town.

Hi Valerie,

A happy new year to you and what an excellent post! I have to agree with the other Steve in that I'd like to be taller too but that ain't gonna happen. LOL.

Yes, a PMA is definitely the way forward into 2010.

Steve M... There is another saying "Great things come in small packages".  Yes, PMA is the only way to go.. causes less stress.  Being positive only brings in positive.. right?

I like the "PMA" think. I might have to steal the 3 letter and make them part of my office policy. Good luck and lots of PMA in 2010

Anne.. It has helped in our office alot.  Being positive, brings in positivity... why  join the cesspool of negativity.  It is a road that too many travel and is very depressing.  I hope this PMA helps your office as well.
