Half year review

My wish is for you to have a Happy Monday.

It is almost unbelievable that we are already half way through 2015 and soon we will be staring at a new year. One of the scary things that many of us face is for a year to end and when we take an audit there is basically nothing to show that we accomplished during the course of the year.

I am happy to report that some of the goals that  I set for 2015 are still on track to be achieved, some are ahead of schedule and there are those which will just not get done this year. I make mention often of the uncontrollable factors in life and that they do affect our plans. There are glimmers of things that were outside of my imagination happening this year also.

A bit of advice that I have been given is to celebrate milestones. This is not to become conceited and beat my chest, massage my ego, or pat myself on the back but it is to reaffirm that the seemingly impossible things can be achieved. A number of small achievements also when grouped can be substantial. These small achievements sometimes provide the motivation to move forward. Achievements should also be celebrated because of the uncertainty of life. It is never fair for some else to gain the benefits of your hard labor.

For the persons that have not yet begun working toward achieving your goals for this year it is never too late to begin. Start with some small ideas. It is not everyone that can envision something grand and devote the time and energy to achieving their goal. Sometimes in life the intent is for us to make effort and not to achieve goals. It is good also to remember that there are short term, medium term and long term goals.

Our greatest asset lies in our ability to think and our greatest mistake this year could eventually be that we allow all our thoughts and ideas to go to waste.
