The New Year is upon us and most of us think about implementing our “New Year’s Resolution” which may include losing weight, finding a new job or adhering to an exercise routine.   Perhaps it’s time to break through the old, traditional ways of creating a resolution and base it on a new decree of designing a “New YOU”.

The New Year always brings in a special atmosphere where we are motivated to take action and see life as an infinite journey of new experiences and opportunities.   We take off those rose colored glasses and see life through a new set, without limitations. Changing your mindset isn’t always easy and having the commitment to follow through can be very challenging. However, you must convince yourself to own your own power and become the person you wish to be and live the life you have always imagined.

To increase and maintain your motivation, surround yourself with people who encourage and champion you and your efforts. Positive people are optimistic; and optimism is the first step in building your self-confidence and keeping you inspired.

Taking risks is a great opportunity to stand out and present yourself as a leader, and not a follower.  However, beyond the external opportunities and recognition risk-taking can bring, it also provides an opportunity for internal growth.  It can actually open you to a world of endless possibilities you may not have considered.
