How many times have you heard someone say they can’t wait for the year to be over? in 2012, I heard that from everyone- neighbors, friends, family members- and from almost every Real Estate Agent out there…
Everyone seems to think that 2013 will be the year of the “Fresh Start”- the year that the economy finally (hopefully with fingers crossed!) turns around, that the Real Estate Market finally starts to see some life, and that everyone’s life will be rosy again. I wish for all those, but…
Shouldn’t every day be a fresh start? Shouldn’t every day be one where you look forward with anticipation and hope, all the while looking back to review and analyze to make sure you don’t make same the same mistakes over and over again? I liken it to my two boys Joshua and Caleb.. At 7 and 8, they STILL were anticipating the arrival of santa. Every day they woke up looking for their Elf On The Shelf to see what kind of mischief he was up to. They still ran downstairs to open their advent calenders. And they had so many questions about how Santa was going to find us on our Cruise Ship in the middle of the ocean on Christmas morning (Don’t worry.. he did!)
It is this excitement for things to come that makes me think that EVERY DAY should be just like that- especially when it comes to the things we look forward to.
I am posing a challenge to you for 2013. Challenge yourself to look FORWARD with reverence to achieving your goals, improving your life, and growing yourself, your business, your bank account, and your relationships. Take every day as a beautiful new day and hug your children, your spouse, your pets, and yourself. Call your parents and siblings. Have coffee with a friend “just to catch up”. Volunteer and give of your time and money- you just may find a new gift!
Happy New Year. Happy 2013. All 360 glorious days left!
