AIM…  Happy New Year!!  Oh wait, that was two weeks ago, wasn’t it?  Yeah, I’m having a hard time getting motivated in this new year.  Enough excuses from me. Did you write or commit to any new year’s resolutions?  Truthfully, I wrote my resolutions but didn’t really get around to doing anything about them until this week.  I guess I needed to ease into the new year routines (at least that’s what I was telling myself.)

 So…how are you doing with your commitments?  Have you given up already?  Don’t fret if you’re struggling. We get a new day, every single day, so, Happy New Year – again!!  Yep, just start over again today and recommit as if it were January 1^st.  You never have to give up and feel like you’ve totally thrown in the towel. Who cares if you mess up or make a mistake or fall short of your goal?  Just start fresh again with your new day.

I hope you find encouragement in this revelation.  I know I’m going to start fresh tomorrow with some of my resolutions myself.  Let’s face it, we are all adults.  Sometimes we need an extra person to hold our hand or keep us accountable.  Identify that person you trust to keep you on track so when you feel like giving up, your accountability partner will be pushing you out of your funk.  I’m ready to attack 2013, are you?

FIRE!   Joyce Meyer says to “Stop putting a period where God places a comma.”  Choose one thing you are willing to commit to doing consistently. Work toward your goal, every day this week.  I’ll keep you accountable if you need someone to check up on you.  Let’s do this! 

Be Excellent!

It's A New Day

READY… "As you step into this new year, be bold enough and daring enough to believe in the abundant good that has been prepared for you." ~ Norman Vincent Peale

AIM… Each one of us is looking at 2012 with different eyes, a different attitude and different hopes. Instead of preaching to the choir, I’m simply going to give you a healthy dose of motivation and inspiration. Embrace it!!

"This is the beginning of a new day. You have been given this day to use as you will. You can waste it or use it for good. What you do today is important because you are exchanging a day of your life for it. When tomorrow comes, this day will be gone forever; in its place is something that you have left behind...let it be something good." - Author Unknown

"Time is an equal opportunity employer. Each human being has exactly the same number of hours and minutes every day. Rich people can't buy more hours. Scientists can't invent new minutes. And you can't save time to spend it on another day. Even so, time is amazingly fair and forgiving. No matter how much time you've wasted in the past, you still have an entire tomorrow." - Denis Waitely

“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” Jeremiah 29:11 NIV

"Today remind yourself that nothing is too good to be true. Your great hopes can be realized. Your most wonderful dreams can come true. All that you really need, you can have. An incredible goodness is operating on your behalf. If you are living a paltry life, resolve to stop it today. Expect great things to happen. Confidently receive God's abundant blessings. Do not think of lack. Instead think prosperity, abundance, the best of everything. God wants to give you, his child, every good thing. Don't hinder his generosity." - Norman Vincent Peale

"Though no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending." - Carl Bard

FIRE!   Make 2012 your year! Start today to make whatever small changes are necessary to start the momentum rolling in the right direction for your future success. You are in control, and YOU can do it!

Be Excellent!
