I just celebrated my birthday in December and another year has gone by. My sister sent me a birthday card that said ” A birthday is the start of another 365-day journey around the sun. Enjoy the ride.”

Wow – a 365 day journey! I never thought about a year in this way. I love to travel and have been a good number of places on this globe, and have many more to go – but a 365 day journey!  Now that’s one heck of a trip.

So what’s it going to look like – this 365 day journey? Some of it I can plan – like international and domestic traveling ; professional and business development; and increasing my business.  You get the idea.

But what about the things I can’t plan for?  Am I ready for those life changing events that ” reset my clock” ?  What about the possibilities?

Sure – life goes on around us, some of it good and not so good (and at one point in my life it felt like I had more than my fair share of not so good.)  How we choose to navigate this journey, this adventure,  is one measure of  our success.  They way we choose to think about all that we experience guides us in our success.

This year, more than others,  I’m excited about this journey, this adventure. I can feel the change in the air -  like a breeze that’s just softly beginning to arise.  Can you?

What about your 365 journey? Got any plans? Any dreams? Are you open to the exciting possibilities around you  or are you feeling stuck and just trying to make it through another year?

A couple of great resources to get you started on your journey are The Art of Possibility by Rosamund Zander and Career Renegade by Jonathan Fields. Both are great books.

See Change Now Coaching can help us well.  Give me a call and let’s discuss the possibility of  getting your Journey started.

It’s been snowing here in New England for the last 3 days or so. It’s the typical New England winter storm that’s just enough to make you want to stay in and curl up with a good book or movie.  And I ‘ve done just that – catching up on my reading, movie watching and of course napping while it snows outside.

But I’ve also had the opportunity to think about what the new year holds for me.   To ask myself ” How do I choose to experience my life this year? ”

“Destiny is no matter of chance. It is a matter of choice: It is not a thing to be waited for, it is a thing to be achieved.” – William Jennings Bryan

We always have a choice in our lives – in everything that we do.  If you think you don’t, then you’ll fallen victim to life’s circumstances.  Choice is the freedom to see things as we desire,  feel what we want and live as we create our lives.

Make a conscious choice this year in how you live your life–to create the life you want, do the things you’ve always wanted.   Go ahead and  choose the life you want this year, you won’t regret it.
