Choose the Life You Want.

It is 31 DEcember 2009, New Year's Eve. New Year's Eve is typically a day in which many take a moment to reflect back on the year, successes, non-successes (white-golds as the USA women's soccer team refers to their silver medal) and what is it that needs to be accomplished in 2010.

My one motivational calendar said 'Today is...."you get to choose the life you want day."

Think about that for a moment. Choosing the life we want. Can that be possible? We get to choose?

Absolutely. Everyday, every hour, every moment, we choose how we are going to live; we choose who we are going to be. We choose to be happy, sad, zealous, bored, angry, ecstatic, joyous, annoyed, ....... whatever the emotion is, we choose.

That is so powerful when you think about it. We are not victims in this life, haphazardly bouncing around from moment to moment. We are seizing the moments and using each to accomplish the goals set out before us, so that we may have the life we desire. WE CHOOSE!

Yesterday, I was training one of my clients who said to me, 'Coach, if I work daily on this, I get better and more skilled.' How very true. We just need to spend some time every day working on what we choose to do or choose to be.

As 2009 is coming to a close, think about who you want to be and what life you want to live.
Now you have chosen. In 2010, think about choosing how you are going to work on that choice every single day.

Happy New Year.

Go and live your dreams.
