A Holiday Poem From an Executive Sales Coach

It's holiday season, the gifts have been bought.
The year almost over, the lessons been taught
 
We look to the future with hope and good thought
To at least make enough and cover the presents we bought
 
Now, it goes without saying that these times mean so much
They are times of reflection, of giving, and such
 
We give to each other and we give from the heart
We look to the new year as an exciting new start
 
Yet, it seems every new year, though we aspire to more
We soon find ourselves walking through the same door
 
The door of our habits, of patterns and fears
Those things that we do, seems year after year
 
We say what we want and we promise to do it
But life steps in front and says "Try to get through it."
 
And that is the moment we know the mark of our billing
To know who is ready, but more so who's willing
 
For its one thing to want yet another to need
But in both cases its the willing who eventually succeed
 
Many are ready and many are able
But few are to willing when they sit at that table
 
They sit and they look at the menu of choices
But then they hear past--all those negative voices
 
"You can't"  "You won't"  "What if" they all say
These negative voices you hear every day
 
Yet, just like a menu, we have lots of choices
Things we can do to overcome those voices
 
We find what we want, and we order our choice
We order so boldly and we find a new a new voice
 
So take that new voice and do what you will
It's those who are willing that climb that steep hill
 
And as the year ends, it's no resolution
No, this year it's more  a New You Revolution
 
A year's not enough for all you can Be
But this moment is plenty to start being FREE
 
Free from attachment and involved in the now
Attached only to purpose, to why, not just how
 
This is your moment, to order your choice
To make your selection and find your real voice
 
This is your moment to set yourself free
To know who you are, what you want, all you will be
 
So, enjoy these few days in the many of life
Enjoy without stress, without conflict and strife
 
For now is the time if any to see
That if you are willing, anything can and will be
 
Happy Holidays everyone.....be ready 2009 will only be the start of what will be your decade to come.
