2015 is just weeks away... did anybody happen to see where 1995 went?
With the new year comes all the usual new year thoughtful stuff. It's like a high school graduation speech. Nearly always the same words, but every once and a while you hear one that really inspires you, Well, this year I got inspired. Somehow through all the "climb the mountain, or, luck is the meeting of work and perseverance" type stuff. I got inspired this year. Not that being inspired made it an easy year. It was nearly the exact opposite; it was a really difficult and frustrating year in many ways. Obstacles, opposition, and barriers came out of no where. Some of them were really good things that I actually needed. Some would say "that's just life, life is hard". True, but as one of my mentors recently said: The greater the opposition, the greater the promise. Keep going. Holy Cow! There's a nugget that will sustain me while I climb the mountain. If the opposition in front of me is this determined to stop me, then the payoff is going to be great. Another nugget given to me was to start 2015 grateful. Gratitude will immediately change your paradigm, focus, and attention. So, here are 10 things I'm grateful for:
So, let's go see what's over the next ridge. Please comment below and tell me about your climb...
