Welcome to a new decade! 2010!
I was thinking back yesterday about the turn of the century – the whole year 2000, Y2K thing, and all of the talk that went along with that. It was easy for me to remember where I was, what I was doing, who I was working for, where I lived, all of that. What I couldnt remember was what goals I had for myself.What thought had I put into the coming decade? Where did I want to go? Where would I want to be living? What would I like my life to be like when the next new decade began?
So, this time around, I am going to do things differently. I am making New Decade Resolutions!
Thinking in a ten year time frame really makes you look at long term goals, and gives you time to assess the intermediate steps to reaching your goal. It takes the focus off the day to day comings and goings and occasional setbacks we might have. It certainly is easier to look at a bump in the road and feel less pressured about it when you are looking at a 10 year time frame than one of months!
Yes, times are tough right now, economically, politically, etc. BUT now is also the TIME TO DREAM! Take a pad and pen and write out or sketch what you want your life to be like in 2020! It is NOT THAT FAR OFF! Where do you want to be living in 2020? What would you like your home to be like? Your friends? Your family? What kind of job do you wish to have? What kind of people do you wish to work for? What kind of vacations will you be taking? What do you want your body to look like? Who do you want to be sharing your life with?

Review your personal mission statement. See how it is reflected in your sketch above. Construct a Dream Board to reflect the goals that you have set for yourself. Be proactive, make it fun! Dare to Dream!
