“If you always do what you’ve always done, you’ll always get what you’ve always got.”
― Henry Ford ―Albert Einstein ―Tony Robbins and a plethora of other people take credit for a variation on this quote.
As you look a few weeks into the future toward December, what do you see? More importantly, what do want to see, feel and experience. If you are delighted by your holiday traditions and looking forward to December, then just keep on doing what you have been doing. According to our friends quoted above, you should get what you’ve always got.
But if you are not looking forward to the annual hoopla in December and want this year to be different from previous years, now is the time to do something about it.
Your Holiday Coach says, “Decide what you want for the upcoming season and keep it in focus. Set realistic expectations and prioritize how you spend your time between now and the end of the year.”
“Easier said than done,” you say. According to Dr. Steve Maraboli, a speaker, bestselling author and behavioral science academic, “The best way to succeed is to have a specific Intent, a clear Vision, a plan of Action, and the ability to maintain Clarity. Those are the Four Pillars of Success. It never fails!” http://www.stevemaraboli.com/index.html
