The Life Project Management Tool of Your Dreams

It is definitely not New Year’s Eve anymore…and I know a resolution or two has slipped through the cracks for me. I’m guessing you might be able to say the same.

That’s okay — and totally normal. Making radical change in your life isn’t easy, and definitely doesn’t always happen overnight.

For me, seeing which resolutions fell apart and which ones gained momentum is a great indicator of where my values are. The ones I talked about in “shoulds,” but never made any progress on, are totally fine to fall by the wayside for me…because clearly they weren’t as important or as aligned with my values and the life I want to be living right now.

But if those ideas and dreams for who you want to be in 2016 were important to you and yet have fallen to the side while you’re trying to make it through your crazy busy daily life, you deserve to put a system in place to help you make massive progress on those goals in the next few months.

Wouldn’t it be great to look back on 2015 and say to yourself: that’s the year I got my tush in gear? That’s the year I actually pursued my dreams instead of giving them lip service? That’s the year things changed for me?

Your peers can stay in a Netflix-induced stupor and continue to talk about what kind of life they’ll start living…once they make more money. Or…once they are far enough along in their careers. Or…when they get old.  Or…when they settle down. Or…when happy hour isn’t so fun anymore.

It’s easy to find excuses for why you aren’t living the life you want to be living. 

And it’s easy to stay exactly where you are. It’s comfortable. It’s relatively safe. But it’s not getting you out of bed in the morning full of joy and energy anymore.

Is being that excuse-maker who you want to be?

Are you tired of rationalizing why you shouldn’t or can’t pursue your dreams and honor your desire to have a life filled with happiness and energy?

Do you want your life to happen to you, or do you want to be in the driver’s seat?

This is the day to start breaking into those excuses, exposing them to the light, and saying “Let’s figure out how I can keep moving forward.

A quote from Confucious is: “You have two lives. The second one begins when you realize you only have one.”

What if you stop right now and make the commitment for that second life to start today?

You are important.

Your life is important.

Your goals are important.

And you can act on them right now.

You don’t need permission from anybody to start living the life you were meant to live.
