Morgana - Resolutions suck. Do this instead.

Resolutions suck. Do this instead.

Ganesha is a God of doorways, protection, and good fortune: an ideal ally for the turning of the year!

Maybe because we had the Winter Solstice in the Northern Hemisphere. Maybe because the new year (and my birthday) are coming up really soon… I took a break from business to start DREAMING about the future.

This is an essential step to Magic and Manifestation.

 

The one thing I can promise you my future does NOT hold is New Year Resolutions!

 

You may have noticed by now that resolutions almost never stick.

 

Frankly, I think New Year Resolutions are BS. They’re typically born from a place of failure, hurt, and self-abuse. And they set you up for more of the same.

 

I like to stack the deck for absolute success. The first step is to failure-proof your intention for the new year.

 

Here’s what I do…

Instead of resolutions I set a THEME for the year.

 

Setting a theme is like choosing a flavor for the year. A context. What the year will be about. It’s not a fixing thing. It’s a growing thing.

 

My theme often grows out of what I want to learn and experience this year. I also tune into what’s ready to happen. And EVERYTHING gets accomplished. It just happens. Every year. Without forcing or failure.

 

Unlike goals, which work best when they’re super specific, a Theme should be general, even vague.

 

Leave room to be surprised by what shows up and how the theme reveals itself.

 

In my experience, the surprises are much better than anything I imagined for myself. For example, last year my theme was “Foundation Building.”

 

I had no idea that would mean I would find–and buy–my dream house (at below my budget), set up house with my husband, and attract my superstar business support team.

 

Today I cracked open a new copy of my Financial Alchemy workbook for 2018, and went through my theme creation exercise (page 43).

 

==> My 2018 theme is EWOP.

 

“What does that mean?” you may ask.

 

This year’s theme is particularly personal and quirky. It has a lot to do with the Goddess work I’ve been doing in Bali, and where I want to go deeper next year.

 

Years ago I was sitting in a cafe after I had just completed my Ultimate Money Goddess retreat, and I got into a conversation with another diner.

 

He gave me a pair of sunglasses that said “EWOP,” an acronym for Everything Works Out Perfectly.

 

What a great way to look at the world!  Especially as I take on new projects that stretch me (like selling my father’s house and writing my new book), and as I keep up my personal fight for civil rights and election integrity in the United States.  When things look scary or discouraging, that’s when I want to look through the lense of EWOP: everything works out perfectly.

 


 

What is YOUR theme for the year?  Please share it below.

SMART Goals 101: Goal Setting Examples, Templates, and Tips - Brian Tracy

I think you’ll agree with me when I say: We’ve all heard that SMART goals are important . But a lot of people are left with questions about them, for example: What exactly are they? How do we use them correctly? Are they really contributing to your success? Here’s the deal: When it comes to achieving success, one of the most important steps that you can take is setting good goals. It is also important to recognize, though, that not all goals are created equal. In this article, we’ll take a look at a special class of goals called SMART goals and how you can use them to heighten your chances of success. FREE SUCCESS TOOL: Brian Tracy’s 14-Step-Goal-Setting Guide What is a Goal? A goal can be any objective that you set for yourself and push yourself to achieve. Sometimes that goal may be small (like waking up an hour earlier than you normally do) and sometimes it may be larger (like earning a promotion). But here’s the kicker: While having goals of all kinds is almost

bosanchez - The Bias of Fathers

One day, I was at a Christmas party. And parents were forcing their small kids to sing, bribing them with lollipops to banana splits to doll houses to Boracay vacations. One father — a friend of mine whose name I won’t divulge as it would be hazardous to my health — brought his little five-year-old daughter to the front. Because he even had a Minus One prepared, we thought, “She must really be a good singer.” So everyone clapped their hands and cheered as the music started. Then the five-year-old began to sing. Or at least made some kind of sharp noise.  But she didn’t get one key right. The cute little girl was absolutely tone deaf. From beginning to end, she sounded so awful, the experience was similar to having an endoscopy without the anesthesia. But the father was right beside me, still taking photos, still smiling from ear to ear, his eyes glued to his little daughter. He looked at me and smiled, “She may not sound right, but can you see how lovely she sways her hips?” Th
