I think that someone has been trying to tell me something. I have seen tweets, Facebook posts, a Chinese fortune cookie, and even my horoscope recently said that to get somewhere, you have to start. (The horoscope part is funny since I seldom look at what my horoscope says.) Sources notwithstanding, like I said, I think someone is sending me a message.
In the year to come, I have quite a few personal challenges and goals in many areas of my life. For those of you that have read some of my older posts, you know that I don't do New Year's Resolutions but I do at certain points in the year review aspects of my life with the changing of the calendar year being a great time to make note of where I am, where I want to go, and how I am going to get there.
One problem that I have had for a long time is that sometimes I get so lost in the details of what I want and need to do, I forget to take the first step. I don't start. However, this time is going to be different. I have a list of goals. I have a list of needs. I have a list of challenges which need fast and urgent action to be taken. For some of the things that I have mentioned, I already have an action plan of things that I need to do. And I have begun some of those actions. However, there are others that are still waiting for me to start. And there are other plans that need to be made so I can start to move toward my goal. I have a lot going on with a big expectation for this year.
It is going to take some management and enthusiasm on my part. But most of all, they need me to start.
My challenge to you is this: I know that you have dreams and goals for the coming year. If you don't, you need to so some serious self-reflection. You don't need to be like me and have a large and challenging set of goals, it could be just one thing. (As long as when you reach that goal, you set a new one.) For those goals, whether you have them now or will have them shortly, you need to START to move to reaching that goal. One thing is certain about goals, you will not reach them if you don't start.
Smile!

About Me
- Eddy
- There is no truth that I came out of the womb with a baseball mitt on my hand. However, my first words were likely "Play Ball!" I loved sports as I was growing up and I learned many lessons from playing, especially baseball as a boy. I still love almost anything with a scoreboard and competition, but my fanaticism has been tempered by real world issues and by viewing other adults living their lives based on the outcome of children's games played by other adults. As I recently heard someone say, it is not WWII. I will still probably write about sports and specific sporting events because I do love sports and believe there is much to be learned on the field of competition. That being said, my main goal is to write of my life lessons hopefully to help others learn to live a more rewarding, healthy, wealthy, and successful life.
