It's 2008! It is always so busy with the holidays. It's nice to have sweet memories of the things that happened this year. But it's time now to look ahead and see what's coming for 2008. I remember a story about a group of POW's that were caught in the war. They were each interviewed to see what they had planned for their lives. The ones that didn't know were held in light security. But the ones who had actual goals and knew what they wanted in life were kept in maximum security. They were the ones that they knew could come up with plans to break out. They were the ones who really cared about making their lives great.
There is something significant about taking the time to think about what you want from this new year and then WRITING it down. Chances are greater that you will do something if you write it down. It doesn't mean you have to accomplish everything you think you want to do. But having a purpose helps us be more proactive about our lives. Start thinking about what you want. Don't just think in terms of the doing, but about the BEING. (See yesterday's post) What kind of a person do you want to BE? And then look at goals for how that kind of thing can happen.

Nathan Sellers,
I don't know if you remember me but think back to college days and Biddulph Hall.
This blog is great. I just found it because I don't use my hotmail account much anymore. In fact, I am thinking of using it for my students to show them what they can do with their lives to make a difference. Thanks for reminding us to get back to the basics.
