Every late December it is good to take some time to reflect on what went right during the past year and what areas of your life you can improve during the upcoming year.
Put aside 30 minutes to and hour of quiet time for this very important exercise. First, picture in your mind what you want. See yourself having it and imagine what you will feel like when you do.
Now you are ready to set S.M.A.R.T. goals. S.M.A.R.T. goals are:
Specific
Measurable
Attainable
Relevant
Time and date specific
Type out your S.M.A.R.T. goals onto a sheet or two of paper and post it where you can see it (the bathroom or bedroom mirror works great).
Next, get yourself in the habit of reading your goals at least once (if not three times) a day.
You will be amazed at how many of your goals are achieved once you commit them to writing. You may not make all your goals each year but you will still find a number of them are reached and often exceeded.
If you have achieved certain goals during the past year, increase those goals by at least 10% if not more.
Actions follow thoughts. Feel it, think it and then do it.
Put your thoughts on paper and watch the universe go into action to help make your goals a reality.
Start here:
I will accomplish the following goals during the year 2009.
I will earn over $___________ during the year 2009.

I highly recommend, if you have not yet taken the time to sit down and write out your specific plans and goals, try the above this exercise. You may or may not reach or exceed every goal however you will be a lot further along then if you made no plan at all. Always shoot for the stars and if you fall short, you will still have reached the sky. People don't plan to fail, they fail to plan. Don't wait. Write down your goals and plans now.
I wish everyone one of you peace, harmony and prosperity during this holiday season and throughout the upcoming year.
Make 2009 your best year ever!
