Overcoming negative tendencies.

dad's quote

I suspect I am no different to others.

As the end of a year approaches, I might be tempted to assess my returns for the year, and be happy enough with the result to date. 

I have lived long enough to recognize the trap in such thinking. My goals for the year involved the whole of 2013. They were honest goals, honestly made, often reviewed. Nowhere was there a "stop when I feel like it" clause, or "near enough is good enough" letout.

Daily affirmations, routines, and short term goals assure me I shall be striving to the end of the year.

How else can I make realistic business decisions for 2014?

I expect to celebrating with the rest. Not partying to oblivion where duties become undone by frivolity.

A daily decision to embrace happiness, no matter the circumstances, and to constantly seek adventure gives me the outlook I need to tackle the excitement promised in my life for 2014 and beyond.

Here's to a strong finish for 2013

Ralph - it is certainly what you strive for rather than settle for that provides satisfaction

Bob - thanks for the good wishes.

William - nothing like being/remaining active.

Roger - thaks. Enjoy your holiday, if you get one.

Sheila - I appreciate the encouragement.

 Noah - let's be positive together. It's catching.

Wayne - always easier to get going if wheels are already spinning.

Debbie - I'm sure your plans for the new year are in the "awesome" category. I'll bet they contain "strong" and "great" all through.
