HOW IS YOU NEW YEAR GOING?

This is one of the few New Years where I can't remember one of my friends or family members talk about resolutions they want accomplish before 2011. I have no problem with that because I didn't make any resolutions, either.  However, I did make several promises to myself, as I try to do on a daily basis.

In an iLG program, I heard billionaire Bill Bartman say something that I wholeheartedly agree with.  When we set "goals" and come up with things like resolutions, we tend to put undo pressure on ourselves, thus, setting ourselves up for failure.  He suggested, instead, that we make "promises" to ourselves.  A promise to yourself is taken much more seriously because even the word promise holds a very personal meaning to us and our commitment to do something.

Make some promises to yourself for this year.  Write them down and read them out loud, daily.  Feed your subconscious with these thoughts and visualize your promises already coming about.  Do this, and take action toward these promises and you will be amazed at the results.
