It’s typically around the New Year when people take a step back to reflect on the year, life, and generalities of what might lie ahead in the future. I certainly do. By reflecting on the things you deem uniquely important to your life – you are doing a great and positive thing for yourself.

So, this blog is all about getting inspired to do better. Life has it’s ups and downs – and on f.i.t. – that’s not something I try and avoid, but conquer.

In life, we can certainly rationalize just about anything. We can convince ourselves that we are doing the things we need to be doing and believe it. But how do we know if we are right?

Another year has come and gone. Time to look forward to 2011. New Year’s resolution? I’ve got that taken care of here.

Part of this blog is about being inspired and motivated to impact your life in positive ways. And as Zig Ziglar says, “People often say that motivation doesn’t last. Well, neither does bathing – that’s why we recommend it daily.”

Ahh, there’s nothing like the promise of a fresh start, right? We all need a fresh start from time to time – and there’s no better time than the turn of a year’s past with a new one on the immediate horizon for a fresh start. In life, staying fresh in whatever it is that you do is important and necessary for growth. So, if you’ve had a fantastic 2010 or a rotten 2010, take a minute and throw it out the window. Without even reflecting, you know what you’ve learned. The good, the bad – we all have a certain degree of both in our lives.

I’m sharing a short series of posts on the struggles we can go through when we seem to have a lot of projects and not enough of whatever it is that will make it happen, How to Resurrect a Stale Project from earlier this week.

Not enough time, not enough energy, not enough of this, and not enough of that.
