Making Change Last



I don't know about you, but the new year always seems like a good time to set new goals for myself.  Call them resolutions, or whatever you want, but there is something about turning the page on a new year that makes life feel fresh and full of possibilities.

The fastest way to create change in life is to focus on making little changes instead of big ones - baby steps, as I like to call them. Daily disciplines make a huge difference over time. If you can incorporate the following habits into your resolutions (or whatever you are calling them), you stand a better chance of achieving your goals and experiencing lasting change.

1. READ! Readers are leaders, so read more if you want a better quality of life. 

2) WATCH! Invest time with media that makes a positive difference. Biographies on television or in movies can give you courage and a new perspective.

3) LISTEN! Find positive music or motivating messages on the radio or from audio books checked out at the library. Let your drive time become personal growth time.

4) ATTEND! Find positive energy from local groups of like-minded leaders at church, business networking events, or seminars.

5) CONNECT! The single greatest influence on your life is from others. Birds of a feather really do hang together, so choose your companions wisely since you will take on their characteristics in multiple ways.  Creating good support systems (by attending and connecting) can get you through any challenge.
 
Good luck!  Let me know how to goes.
