The Aftermath of Christmas


Life is strange....
Just a few weeks ago there was a huge hype leading up to Christmas.  Today it’s history! Christmas has come and gone. 

What was your experience of Christmas?  What does the whole season mean to you? Now that its past how has your life changed – if at all?

We spend a lot of precious time working up enthusiasm for an occasion.  We think, we plan, perhaps take a little action.  Then it’s all over.  If you measure the time spent in preparation and wishing compared to the time of the actual event do they balance?  Generally I think not....

How can we reverse this?   Spending so much time longing for something to happen seems to be a bit of a waste of valuable time.  Yes, preparation is necessary for every occasion but I want to balance the time in preparation with the time spent enjoying.  We need to live more in the here and now world.  Enjoy life around you.  Truly see the beauty we are surrounded by.

What are your plans for 2013?  What do you aim to achieve?  What are you prepared to do to win that achievement?

If you have not already done it then sit down now and work out an exciting plan for the year ahead.  As always start with the end in mind.  Come Christmas 2013 what do you want to be truly excited about? Why do you want that?  What will you benefit from that achievement? Is it still the dream you want to pursue?   Great.  Now what do you need to do to set this dream in motion? Write it down. Map it out for the next 12mts.   Give yourself a little time to get this right.  Then once done you can start to enjoy the journey of achieving your goal. No more waiting and longing for.  Enjoy the journey to achieving that moment just as much as you enjoy the actual occasion.

Here’s wishing you every Blessing you wish upon yourself for a successful 2013
