Sal DeFilippo - New Year’s resolutions are just year-round goals in disguise

New Year’s is symbolized by revelry, party favors and Auld Lang Syne. It’s a time of both reflection and aspiration, as you turn the page to a new calendar year and new opportunities.


It’s also a time when most everyone routinely assesses and lists what they want to accomplish in the upcoming year, in the form of New Year’s resolutions.


Some are about health. Some are about business. They are as unique as the people who make them, and usually aim to improve on shortcomings.


The dawn of a new year is a natural checkpoint for such self-assessment, and it’s a worthwhile exercise, even if only for raising self-awareness. For example, if you’re one of those people who is usually still working on resolutions while others are loudly counting down as the ball drops in Times Square, you should probably put “Don’t Procrastinate” on your list this year, and move it up a few spots.


155260900 But what exactly are New Year’s resolutions? Think about this: In late December, we call them resolutions. The rest of the year, these same lists go by a simpler name. Goals.


That’s all resolutions are – a pseudonym for the goals we make year-round. So put this one on top of your list this year: Don’t limit goal-setting to once a year.


Creating new goals, in many ways, is as important as striving to reach them. This year, make your New Year’s “resolutions” relative to the year ahead, but make incremental goals throughout the year as well. Since you’re thinking about the calendar, pull one out and mark down some key dates for checking in on your goals and for setting new ones.


Another thing to keep in mind: You should set your own goals, but don’t think you don’t need to accomplish them on your own. Whether it’s personal growth or business growth, I’m here to help. “Releasing Your Inner Millionairess” is about much more than financial growth.


Besides, helping others achieve success is always at the top of my goals list, year-round. I’m excited for the opportunity to help you in 2014 and beyond!


Happy New Year!


Amy

How to Set Priorities Using the ABCDE Method - Brian Tracy

The more thought you invest into setting priorities before you begin a task, the faster you will get the important things done.

Allana Pratt, Intimacy Expert - My boyfriend’s messaging strange women

Question: Do you have any idea why a man would start instant messaging strange woman after being in a five year relationship. Said he was “stupid” and wasn’t physical with anybody. I guess you can say I have trust issues. Answers: Ouch! I am so sorry. Do I have any idea why? Here is what I have learned, first off I am really sorry because that really hurts. If you have trust issues especially, that would hurt and sting even more. So first something about trust and then something about men. Trust: When we trust, it’s not that we trust someone to be perfect. That sets us up for failure because no one is perfect and you can’t control anybody. That is insanity if we try to control another and put all of our power – making sure they be a certain way to so that we are safe. Instead, find that safety and trust inside you. That safety being that capacity to discern and know that come what may, you’ve got your own back – you can take care of yourself. It takes a lot of pressure off of other...
