2016 Countdown For A Successful New Year

John Maxwell is counting the days down to the New Year.  We are going to journey with him and chew on some of his suggestions.  He encourages us to implement five habits that will lead to a successful 2016. 

Everybody knows that if we want our lives to change, we need to change.  Growth is good, but it must be intentional.
 
Day 5 – The Habit Of Assessing -  Take a few minutes and think about what you might like to change in yourself.  What bad habits might you want to get rid of or good habits would you like to start forming?  Are there any skills you want to acquire?  Any goal you would like to achieve?

Often the problem is not a lack of desire, but a lack of a plan.  A goal remains just a dream if there is no plan put into place.

Many people stop here because they dream the dreams, but they don’t know the steps to take to reach the desired goal.  They become overwhelmed quickly without a specific action plan.

Fear limits our planning and our willingness to take action.  We are afraid to plan something we are not sure that we can accomplish.  We also fear taking the necessary steps because we do not want to fail.  But, if we don't dream, don't make a plan and don't take steps, we fail anyway.  So, what do we have to lose?!

Consider the obstacles in your way?  Will you hurdle them, trip over them or just turn back?
Are you willing to assess where you are and where you want to be, and then make a detailed plan to get there?

If so, start today and write out the habits you have and want to change, the new habits that you want to develop, and the dreams that you want to make a plan for to achieve in 2016.

The first step to take for a successful 2016 is to create the habit of assessing.
