Terri's Tuesday Tip of the Week - December 12th


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
