Thought of the Week: January 5, 2003 A Time for New
Beginnings:
Today is the day to make the commitment to achieve your vision for the future. How many of us have yearned to be smarter, more attractive, wiser, compassionate or well traveled? Perhaps we want to spend more quality time with our family and/or friends. There are a myriad of individualized needs and desires that go unfulfilled. How do we become the fortunate few that actually meet a goal, live a vision, embrace the many positive elements that is life? The first step is making the commitment to see your goal reached.

Envision: To envision is to picture an image in your mind. This can be a person (you), place, or thing. A vision of reality begins with an image of what you wish to accomplish. Take Action: Most people stop at the "Envision" step of commitment. One must initialize movement in order to effect change. Taking action includes identifying who, what, where, and how you are going to make your vision a reality. Perform: The "Perform" step is the actual implementation of your commitment.

When circumstances, perceived impediments, or people interfere with your plan, find a way to meet the challenge. The Principles of The Plan Over the next series of articles, we plan to share a number of basic principles for you to develop "The Plan" in your life. These principles will include "Bountiful Brainstorming," "5-Minute Mental Moments," and "Advice from the Trenches." We anticipate that you can incorporate some of the principles to create "The Plan" that works for you.

Whether a person is trying to find a job, seeking upward mobility in their career, or wish to gain confidence in daily communication, it is my endeavor in 2003 to help others with this skill. I'll keep you posted on my progress. Make sure and let me know how you are doing with your plan. Next Week! Next week, we will cover the principle of
"Bountiful Brainstorming." From the endless possibilities stored
in your mind, you can create dozens of places to begin your journey. Return to Return to
