Happy New Year to you and your family.

We are in a season of transition and transformation. Have you written down your goals for 2023? Is your Vision Board completed and placed on your office wall, in your home on the kitchen or bedroom wall? Are your goals SMART goals?
Listen, one thing 2022 has taught us is that we do not have our lives in our hands and we need to make the best of every day as the days are not promised to us.
Whatever goals you set for 2023, be intentional in having them completed within the year. Let no one stop you from achieving them? Don’t listen to the naysayers. Always remember, people are in your life for a reason and a season. Therefore, it is ok as you climb your way to the mountain top some of your friends, who you thought would have been there for you, are not there to celebrate your winnings. That friendship season is over and that is quite OK.
Here are 3 nuggets to ensure you are able to set your goals for 2023.
1) Ensure your goals are SMART Goals: Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic and Timely. If your goals are not set up as stated above you will not accomplish your desired outcome and you will be disappointed.
2) Change your mindset to a Winning Mindset. You are not a carbon copy of anyone. Your fingerprints are not the same as mine. Once you set your mind to achieving your goals within a specific time period, let no one come in your way. Train your mind to do things differently. For example, if you are accustom to getting up at 7am set your alarm clock for 6am and put a plan in place to ensure you get up at 6am. Do this for 21 days and I can guarantee you that you will be getting up before 6am without the alarm clock.
3) Gratitude is a Must. I cannot stop saying this. A grateful heart can and will accomplish so much more than expected. Everyday give thanks for what you have and what IS to come and Claim It! Position yourself to be able to help someone in need; you will be surprised how just seeing a smile on their face can brighten your day and that act of kindness will give you a sense of purpose.
Never stop striving to be the best version of yourself; you never know who is looking at you as their ‘role model’ after all so many basketball players today believed in Michael Jordan – “I want to be like Mike!” They exclaimed. So, do you and do it well!
If you are still in the planning stages of setting your goals, don’t be hard on yourself. The race is not for the swiftest but for those who endure to the end. I am here to help, let us connect.
