NEW YEAR'S

There have been a lot of "resolution" thoughts this past week.  For your consideration, a few thoughts to add to them.

Brother Nilson  "Don't bring the past into the future unless it is rooted in solid principles."  Learn from the past, but don't dwell on the negative.  Go forward with a positive goal.

Have you heard this acronym  FEAR  False Evidence Appearing Real.  Think about that.  Do we let FEAR dictate our actions or do we overcome the problem and seek out that which is real?

Another article by April Perry, quoting from "This Year I Will...."  by M. J. Ryan

S.M.A.R.T. goal

S= Specific.  Pick a goal that is something you can "pin down"
M=Measurable. have a way to measure your progress or you will never feel that you have accomplished something.
A=Achievable.  This means be realistic.  Don't set yourself up for failure.
R=Relevant.  Make sure thisis the right kindof goal for you.  Is this really important to you?
T=Time-bound  Give yourself a deadline.

And be sure to write your goals down.  A goal unwritten is only a wish.
