Decide what you want for next year

The year 2014 is gradually coming to a close. In the coming weeks, Christmas music will permeate the air. Nations and corporations have finalized their 2015 budgets. If you have not done so already, it is time to put your 2015 goals on paper. A key component of those goals is your financial goals for 2015. You can decide what you want for next year.

Herein lies our power – the power to choose. We can choose what we really want. We can choose what to focus our minds on. We can choose what to look out for – either how it can be done or why it cannot be done. There are no right and wrong answers. The answer is what you want it to be. The mind simply obeys your commands.

If you say it is impossible, your mind will respond “All correct Sir!” and get to work gathering evidence to prove the master’s point. After all said and done, we create our world by what we believe, say, and do. Seeing that we have this awesome power to choose, what do you want for 2015?

You might think it is a silly game of make-believe, it does not matter, what will be will be. Again, you are correct. Your mind agrees with you. You have chosen. Arguing with you will be a waste of time, as that is your reality, one you are not ready to change.

Change happens when you are ready for it. If you are not yet ready, your bag of excuses is full to the brim. I like a George Bernard Shaw quote that says ‘Those who say it can’t be done should get out of the way of those that are already doing it’. And management guru Peter Drucker rams it home with the quote – ‘the best way to predict the future is to create it’.

The future in focus is the year 2015. You can choose to create your year or let it happen circumstantially. You can wonder what the year will bring or go to work creating what you want the year to bring. One thing I find fascinating is that you eventually get what you want, by omission or commission. Decide what you want for next year
