Have you ever heard that we can make our life whatever we want it to be? Well, to a certain extent that is probably true...We can close the 2007 Agenda, and Open a New Page.......we all start off with a Blank Canvas.....a brand new year.......
A blank canvas.........think of the excitement, the wonder of the finished product. Think of all the colors you can mix, or you can keep it simple and just sketch in Black and White....
Paint the year anyway you want....you have the brush, and the canvas, the vision of what you want. Some people just jump right in, and paint whatever feels right, while others take their time, and study the canvas.......there is NO right or wrong way....it is your canvas, your life, your year.
Listening to Forecasts doesn't appear to be of much help, as everyone has their own opinion, and style, as well as area specific conditions. some people like blue, some brown, some no color at all.......
Learning from the Past.....How did you plan 2007? What was the final picture that you can see now, and how will you learn for 2008.....
Look at what worked, what didn't, admit mistakes made, and move on. Life moves forward, the lessons are in the past.....
Paint your canvas anyway you want....you have plenty of time, and 12 months to do whatever it is you chose......and like in all art, you can change it at will.........
Dream, plan, experiment, and lastly just start......the picture will evolve one way or the other :) 2008 will come no matter what you have on your canvas......
Life is for Living.......and we all decide how we want to use our time, will it be beneficial, and add to, or detract from, it's your Canvas....paint it however you want :) Happy New Year......

Nice analogy, Kathy. I love the idea of the new year being a clean canvas, ready for me to paint on! Business planning would be the sketch, the results will be painted as we go.
