Reclaim your Life this Year-- 3 Simple Questions to ask yourself

Do I have a plan?
You will need a definite, (written is best) plan of the things you are wanting to accomplish this year. Ask yourself these questions-- What are the...

character qualities I want to develop; physical activities I will do and physical goals I will accomplish; spiritual growth I will gain; emotional and mental development I will pursue; family relationships I will strengthen and improve; financial areas I will address. (I have a simple booklet I've developed with these areas listed-- if you'll e-mail me requesting one, I'll send it to you.)

Do I have the means?
What resources do you need to do this-- membership at a gym or Weight Watchers? What help do I need spiritually to get where I should be? What books do I need to read, or what classes do I want to take to better myself mentally, emotionally, spiritually, and where do I find them? Am I willing to take the bull by the horns, and be determined enough to do this without anybody's prodding or begging?

Am I willing to ask for help?
Your seriousness is seen in your willingness to do whatever you need to do to accomplish these things; your success will be seen in your finding someone to help encourage you and someone to check up on your progress. If you could do this alone, you already would have. Don't be afraid of accountability. Accountability just means you find someone you trust and give them the right as a concerned friend to question you on the areas you're working to improve.
