Goals. How important are goals in achieving the life you want to have? You know there was a time when I was neither a goal setter or a goal getter. Nope. I believed life was to be lived in each moment as if we were going to die tomorrow. I stumbled through each day without any kind of plan or routine, other than to get up and be on time to work. But somehow, I would manage to get most of the things I wanted in life because I know what I want...and if I worked hard enough I could get it. The thing is, it always took me an extremely long time to acheive anything I set out to do. 

Last year I decided things needed to be different. I wanted 2018 to be the year I stopped wishing and started achieving real results. Bragging rights results. And that meant things we're going to need to shift for me in a lot of areas of my life. The greatest transformation of 2018 began with a decision. 

Now ask yourself why these are important to you, and what are you going to need to do in order to make them a reality. Often times, our habits reflect our results, and we all have habits we can improve upon. Sometimes these are our thought patterns. Sometimes its our day to day routine. Or it's how we've been conditioned to respond to the events in our lives. We have to learn what to say no to, so we can say yes to the things that truly light our soul on fire. Letting go is not all about sacrifice, but it is necessary in receiving the things we want to attract to us. 

Let me share with you a few things I left go of this year in order to up level my life.

• Ego and perfection. I decided that done was better then perfect and I would rather fail forward than fail because I never tried. I expanded my comfort zone so I could show up bigger and serve more.
• I made wiser choices about who I let into my circle of life, who I partnered with in business and became more intentional of who I spent my time with.
• Practiced daily gratitude and worked on my inner game through personal development and having a better understanding of myself. I became intentional about my life and my choices. And I created an abundant mindset.
• Embraced the 3 C's. Commitment, consistent, and courageous. I stopped making excuses, invested in myself, took bigger action daily, and I stuck to my plan most of the time.
• I made myself, my health, and my family the top priorities. All of my other decisions we're made around my foundation...and I truly believe the focus on that inner game is what made all the difference for me in 2018.

Now it's your turn

So here we are. It's the last day of 2018. How do you feel about this year and what are you looking forward to in 2019? I know without a doubt, you can create a new reality or improved circumstance no matter where you are starting from. If you can believe in your ability to learn new things you can achieve so much. If you can improve your habits and each day take action, you will compound your efforts...so focus each day on becoming better than the you of yesterday. Last year I shared with you a great article about how to gain more clarity for a fresh slate. ​Read more about it

Decide

For things to change, you need to decide. Make a decision deep inside your soul that you are going to commit to becoming your best self and close the door behind you. You have to have both feet in. Transformation never happens half ass. Ask yourself the tough questions...
