Happy New Year

Post date: Feb 10, 2015 3:52:44 AM

Last year at this time I began my blog site. I stated I would be writing a blog every two weeks. I wrote a total of four last year. Twenty short of my goal! Knowing I had set a goal and having not come anywhere close to reaching it, made me want to 1) deny it was a goal, and 2) never attempt reaching it. Simply put I wanted to forget about it and not touch it again. I had a myriad of excuses as to why, over the year, I could not write – too busy, not enough to say, someone else had probably already said it better, technical difficulty uploading it to my site etc.

Here I sit. It is a new year. Instead of doing what I “wanted” to do, I’m encouraging myself to 1) face the reality of the situation, 2) sit in it and experience the disappointment of not reaching a goal 3) see my excuses for what they are – “faces of resistance” and 4) make a conscious choice to do something different. Here’s to setting new goals or picking up old ones. Here’s to talking one step at a time towards the story we want to live today.
