"Today is a new chapter in the story of your life.
While you're holding the pen, what will you write?
Now, is your time to shine! Will you continue
holding the pen or will you express yourself
from deep within?"
Amaka Imani Nkosazana
New Year's Resolutions abound. They range from diet, to career, to relationships, to new locations, and personal development. The newly charted course can be pages long or it can be a frozen thought in the midst of a dream.
I have found selecting one word rather than a manifesto helps one to succeed. Simplicity will help intentions to stay afloat rather than sinking to the bottom never again to be seen. Break it down, look at the core, and discover what is the most singular thought on the bottom of the pile? Then determine simple ways to keep that thought in front of you all of the time.
I had a college friend who wore a red rubber band on his wrist 24/7. I never saw him without it whether he was in class, playing in a basketball tournament or being crowned homecoming king. He claimed that every time his focus began to slip, he would instantly snap the rubber band. He said he had been doing it for years and it worked ... for him. What will work for you?
