Filed under: Perspectives in Brief
It’s that time of year again…time to reflect on everything that’s happened in the past year, not to live in the past but to acknowledge everything you’ve done, everything you’ve lived, learned, and everything you wished you had done but never got around to it.
New Year’s Resolutions feel powerful when you make them. Most of the time they’re things you challenge yourself to do. Intentions are different in as such they are what you choose as a way of being to change your life, your focus and how you want to live. That’s what’s powerful! They all start off with “I intend to…” It’s a self-commitment. Here are a few examples I’ve started trying out which you’re welcome to adopt if you wish …
I intend to become incredibly selfish, not self-centered. I intend to take care of myself and no longer put up with what isn’t acceptable in my life.
I intend to eliminate delay in all its forms, to not throw away my time which is very precious to me. I intend to become a quick responder (not reactor) so I won’t be bogged down with stuff… shoulds …have-tos.
I intend to surround myself with great people, those who care about me in some way, personally and professionally and I intend to tell my critics to take a hike.
I intend to pay attention to the world around me…to remember there are ramifications upon ramifications upon ramifications to everything I do. My impact could go way beyond my knowing. I intend to make it count.
I intend to create an environement that nourishes me.That means physical space, mental, network, learning…the works. If the saying “You are a product of your environment” is true, and by all accounts it’s on target then I intend to craft an environment that is great!
I intend to see everything as perfect even when it clearly isn’t.
I intend to approach the new year with the perspective of having to eliminate what is no longer working by choice and replacing it with what will work for the future.
I intend to give from choice not obligation, to open myself up to possibilities, to learn something new every day and to have a great life.
Embrace your dreams for your future instead of what was in the past.
May 2010 be great!
Best..
