2014 THE YEAR YOU TRANSFORM
t
he year 2014 is sure to be full of surprises. Be that as it may, the opportunity for your favorite pastor or motivational speaker to deliver a plethora of catchy phrases for the New Year will remain the same. Let’s guess what axioms are on the horizon…
Trust and Believe in 2014 Getting Healthy and Lean in 2014 Claim Your Dream in 2014 In 2014 Imma Praying Machine Legalize Weed in 2014 (hopefully not)
While some of these may encourage you for the moment, you are soon left feeling empty and disappointed. The New Year usually represents a second chance. Sometimes adverse events in the previous year cause suspicions of some mysterious sinister force working against you. If you are determined to have a better year than ever before, a move past the ridiculous resolution which rarely makes it beyond Black History 40
Month is necessary. Have you ever asked yourself… Why do my New Year resolutions, dreams and goals seem to fail? Resolutions are something you merely wish for. Dreams are something you simply desire. And while goals are good; they are something you strive for but are often never met. Perhaps you should try something different… something better. I encourage you to think of resolutions, dreams and goals as subpar conventions. Consider a higher paradigm – SYSTEMS. A New Year resolution says, “I want to lose 30lbs by the summer;” while a system says, “I will begin to eat right and exercise.” A goal is an end. A system is an action. Systems transform your mind and reach far beyond any calendar date. Create systems for your life which will direct you towards your destiny and propel you into your purpose.
