Have you set your goals for 2010?
How about vision boards/dream boards?
Have you also attach a personal mission statement?
How about personal mantra, affirmations, & visualizations?
I was up until 5am thinking about this……
We are coming up interesting times in the history of mankind. Thinking about 2009 shortfalls and shortcomings is not going to change anything. The only thing we need to change is our MINDSET and our ATTITUDE. We need to chart a new course.
MAKE A DECISION THAT THIS YEAR IS GOING TO BE A YEAR OF GREAT OPPPORTUNITY.
Some will see it.
Some won’t.
Who gets to decide?
You do!!! And that’s EXCITING!!!!!!
I have something to share with you today about my 3 words that I adapted from Chris Brogan a well-known pro-blogger and co-author of the book Trust Agents: Using the Web to build Influence, Improve Reputation, and earn Trust.
Chris Brogan shares 3 words that helped him FRAME his thinking and also guides him in his personal action. I truly liked it and resounded with his message. These words are your inner compass or GPS.
Here’s how it works
“Pick three words that help you the way a lighthouse helps a ship in a storm. Give yourself a word that guides you towards a powerful new opportunity, and that keeps you focused on what comes of this year. Use these words as starting points for tangible goals, SMART goals that can be measured and have dates to accomplish tasks by. These words sit above the actual goals, and set your guiding principles in place.”
These words are your:
- Target (not resolutions)
- Zip files or icons for large ideas.
- Reminders of all that you intend to accomplish
Here’s Mine
They are very PERSONAL. I am pretty sure if you come up with yours it will be different.
Love
My Intention and my heart’s desire this year is to do everything OUT of LOVE. Goethe mentions “we are shaped and fashioned by what we love” so I want Love to be my lighthouse that guides my everyday thoughts, actions, and deeds.
This also takes precedence over anything because of my #1 goal to be better in my relationships and prioritized self-nourishing activities such as meditation, yoga, exercises, etc…Living in tune with mind, body, spirit, & emotions. Also to have lots of FUN, ADVENTURE, MAGICAL MOMENTS with my family.
And I will also include this word, especially, when times are tough. Yes! Just like you. I have my down times. I want to be reminded to be STRONG! To be a believer and always have faith!
These refer to my goals in spirituality family/home, relationships, Lifestyle, fitness goals, mental, health etc…
Action
As I reflected, back on my 2009 habits, behavior, and daily agenda. There was always one thing that I know I could DO better. Yup you got it!
ACTION
Now I’m not beating myself up or anything. I am happy for what I have accomplished, thus far, but I know it could be dramatically improved. Action for me also means rapid growth.
Here are ways I will implement
1.) Be rigorous in planning
2.) relentless commitment
3.) Clarity of purpose & Mission
4.) Respect momentum
5.) Tenacity of Spirit
Also when it comes to action, I want to remind myself to be patient. Personal development legend Jim Rohn shares the farming mentality, “plant the seed, garden, tend, cultivate, then you harvest.” In my last post “Making a Difference” I mentioned that the universe operates through dynamic exchange. Hence the ebb & flow in life. I want to practice the “law of least effort” and let the universe do its job. Life moves in its natural progression. Life gives YOU WHAT YOU ARE not what you want.
These refers to my goals in business, financial, Physical/health/fitness, parenting, blogging, relationships, & lifestyle
Bridge
One thing that gives me deep satisfaction is RELATIONSHIPS. I have guided my relationship based on this quote “ The three things we crave most in life –happiness, freedom, and peace of mind –are always attained by giving them to someone else” I approach ALL my relationships by giving. This year and every year I find a way to purposefully plan to deepen and nurture my relationships with those I love.
This year is the YEAR of the TRIBES. I can’t wait for you to MEET them. They are visionaries, healers, value-adders, artists, thinkers, Leaders, Inspirers, and connectors.
What can I do to serve those I love & my tribes? I will do it in 4 ways which is to:
- ASK
- SHARE
- GIVE VALUE
- BE A CONNECTER
Mastering the true art of relationship building will be my focal point for sure. To me everything comes in FULL CIRCLE when I am helping, encouraging, giving value, connecting, and loving.
So, I have shared my 3 words that are important to me in helping me achieve the highest quality in LIFE this year.
How about You?
What will your 3 words be?
If you don’t come up with one yet… what did you learn most from this post?
REMEMBER
“What will get you further ahead is looking for ways to do more with less, to leverage the current opportunities that are out there, and to build relationships that will weather any storm. Give it some thought.”
WISHING YOU GREAT HEALTH, ABUNDANCE, FREEDOM, LOVE, SUCCESS, HAPPINESS AND HARMONY THIS 2010 AND EVERY YEAR! MAY THIS YEAR BE YOUR BEST YEAR YET!
LET’S CREATE MOMENTUM & MEMORIES!

Ps. if you’re not following Chris Brogan yet please do so… He is definitely the man when it comes to giving value.
In Love & Service,
