This year's decisions
Making wishes and dreaming is easy. Even setting goals is easy. However, if you stop at that point and hope that it will happen magically, you are setting yourself up for failure. Imagine that you are at the bottom of a hill and you want to reach the restaurant at the top. Of course, you know that you have to put one foot in front of the other and start the climb.
However in the life of our goals and dreams, we often fail to take the next step, however small it may be.
What secret or not so secret wish do you have for 2008?
Challenge: Write down what your goal is and write what steps are needed to achieve it. Better yet, only write down one step you are willing to take during January, toward your goal. Just one step. If you achieve this first step before the end of January, then write what's next. Keep following this recipe until all the ingredients have been added. You will then find yourself very close to making things happen, almost magically!
If you find yourself stuck at any point, follow the Emotional Freedom Techniques (http://www.emofree.com/) to take care of the interfering feelings.

P.S. The beautiful woodpecker that showed up on Christmas Day came back today, unfortunately not long enough to be photographed. Maybe next time.
