Create
a vision of who you want to be, and then live into that picture as if it were
already true. - Arnold Schwarzenegger
Over the last couple of weeks, Terri’s
Tuesday Tip has discussed how to conduct a personal year-end review and challenged
readers to find something good out of every “disappointment”. Now that we have completed those thought
provoking activities, it is a great time to start thinking about what to
accomplish in 2018.
As we are all busy with Christmas
shopping, traveling, finishing tasks to complete our 2017 goals, it is important
to take time to think. John Maxwell
said:
Thinking
is hard; that’s why so few do it.
Taking time to think provides the opportunity to clear our
minds of the craziness around us, forget our accomplishments and
disappointments of 2017 and only focus on what we desire to do next year and
the rest of our lives. A great place to
start is to do what Diana Ross suggested:
Instead
of looking at the past, I put myself ahead twenty years and try to look at what
I need to do now in order to get there then.
I
started this process a couple weeks ago and have taken a lot of time to
think. It has not been an easy process
because there are so many uncertainties in my life right now. However, this process has allowed me to think
about the “what ifs” and dream about a future that is not on the path I had
originally planned.
CHALLENGE: Take 90 minutes over the next week to think about
where you want to be in twenty years.
Write it down. Start thinking
about what goals you will need to create for next year to accomplish that dream
in twenty years.
40 Before 40 Update: I
accomplished #25 and #26 and am currently in the middle of working on the next
few. To view pictures of my different activities,
here is the second Facebook photo album I created: https://www.facebook.com/terri.flow.3/media_set?set=a.10154855339932294.1073741853.598657293&type=3&pnref=story
