The New Year is almost here and it’s time to get serious about what you want to accomplish. Far too many people end up making the same resolutions year after year! I don’t want that to end up being you this year. That’s why I’ve prepared a very special article in this month’s edition of Richly Rewarding Living. (How to Create a New You in the New Year.) It will help you stick to your resolutions and make sure you accomplish them and feel the pride that comes with sticking it through, even when times get tough.

Make no mistake about it: achieving your resolutions in 2012 is going to require some mental toughness. You’re going to have to tap into your inner strength. That means doing things you know will get you to your goals, even when you don’t feel like doing them. In fact, I’ve come across a GREAT quote (by an anonymous author) that you should print out and look at every day:

“The chief cause of failure and unhappiness is trading
what we want most for what we want at the moment.”

     So this coming year, try to tap into your inner strength, and forgo what you want at the moment for what you want in the long term! If you want that small piece of cake, let it go. Remember you want to look your best. You feel tired but you’re trying to start a part-time business? Burn the midnight oil and keep going!

Whatever it is, you can do it! Just make sure you realize there is some sacrifice to be made. Have a happy and safe New Year!
