Preparing for another year

Good morning ladies and gentlemen,

If you are reading this you are blessed to have seen another year. I am thankful for being able to join this community and to start the new year with new friends and looking forward to meeting many more.

I am pretty sure many of you are or have already set goals for the coming year and this a a good thing. I just want to remind you and encourage you to make realistic goals, make short term goals, and long term goals. Short term goals should be what you want to accomplish in ninety days or less, and long term goals six months to a year.

We all have responsibilities and goals and these are good things, but I also want to encourage you to make time for you and to learn to take time to rest and relax. You are not good to anyone if you are stressed out or worse in the hospital. If you have a hobby make sure that you take time to do it at least one day a week. If you can’t do the whole day make time to spend a couple hours that day to dedicate it to your hobby. This allows you to reset and clear your mind. If you don’t have a hobby, then I encourage you to take time the first week of the year to decide on a hobby and make it part of your weekly routine.

For me I have a flight simulator and I love to fly different planes and fly to different locations all over the world. For me it’s my stay home vacation. Another hobby is to play golf. Now playing golf is not only a hobby but it’s also a great networking tool for those in the business world. I have met a lot of great people and have networked and made a lot of clients and contacts on the greens. So golf for me is a hobby and business opportunity. Not to mentioned it is considered a gentlemen’s sport.

So take time in the next couple days to decide on a hobby and make it part of your weekly routine schedule.
