First Task:Game plan

You have to have a plan before you can play the game.
Today, I am writing down my goals for this year.
So many exciting things have grown from many of the seeds that I planted in the last few years on a day like today.
My book came from a goal setting day.
I tour the country as a motivational speaker, sharing my story and inspiring people to live there best life - another goal achieved.
Some of the best new opportunities in my life are real today because I made them a goal on a list of many other goals I sought to accomplish.
Now, my lists always include many things I wanted to achieve in my personal life and in my career. 
I would write down these things. 
I also write down under each goal ways I could accomplish it. 
Now, I don't accomplish most of my list each year. 
And I don't feel bad about the things I don't do.
I relish in the ones that I do. 
Why is it easier to beat yourself up, than to praise and take stock in your accomplishments.
Every year when I try to make these goals realities, some of them become more clear and real than others. 
And Yes!
I do go back to old list and revive some goals from the past, maybe timing is better now. 
If you have a list of 10 things and 20 ways to accomplish them
If you get one of them done.
You are ahead of the game. 
Have fun dreaming up your goals, enjoy the thought of getting them done!
Feel that new energy of inspiration and build on it with a realistic plan of accomplishment!
If there are naysayers, don't share your plans with anyone but me and the comments on my blog!
Keep your list close to your heart!
I will share some of mine as the year continues!
This will be fun and exciting.
This weeks task is to WRITE THE LIST!
