Who can’t remember the kid’s game when a prize is hidden by a chosen participant and other players would be seeking that hidden prize? The member moving closest to the unseen item would hear the designated facilitator yell, “getting hot, getting hotter!”  Then the discovery!  The prize is found!  A WINNER!  Well, did this year bring you to your prize? Did you get what you really wanted from your life in 2011?  If you are still kindling a little spark, how many years will go by before you actually get what you want? If you are doing something that is not working and continue, guess what that is called? CRAZY MAKING! If you’re serious about getting on the hot track and leaving cold or warm behind, here is an opportunity to put a plan together to ignite a blazing New Year. Let this be the year that you put it all together and SIZZLE like you’ve never sizzled before. Here are four steps to guide you into 2012 . . .

 1. ASSESS THE PAST YEAR: Get away and spend a few days alone to assess and create an outline of what you just went through in 2011. Evaluate and determine honestly what were the thinking, your feelings, and behaviors during both the high and low points of each month? Do more of the “high peaks” for success this coming New Year.  Describe for yourself a theme year.  Write in a journal the kind of year you specifically want to experience. Visualizing and pre-planning for a successful year is a powerful strategy for you to ignite the flames.

 2. ASSESS YOUR CURRENT VALUES: You begin to draw closer to what you want when you have clarity of your values as they apply to your abilities. As you get in touch specifically with what is important to you (unconsciously) they consciously get expressed in words, then move toward action. Your values are the root cause for your desires and motivation; it’s that motivation that draws you closer to your prize and fuels the fire to get hot.

 3. ASSESS YOUR HIGHEST RESOURCES: It’s up to each of us to go into action to create our desired outcomes. We must put energy into finding our greatest resources, which really are everywhere. These steps give birth to what is called the “Law of Attraction” or cause and effect? Know that you get what you focus on first, with clear focus your prize will draw toward you. Outline what you need in resources. Is it time, support, money, education; and what current resources do you have before you? Tapping into resources gets you hotter.

 4. ASSESS YOUR FUTURE: Write out five (5) specific items you wish to achieve this year. Take the accomplishments from last year and use them as a base to build upon. Draw from your vision of the life you want and crystallize it into concrete and specific goals. Write in the present tense as if you have received what you want already. Combine your past success, clarify you values, outline your resources, set goals and taking action will bring forth your prize for 2012. Have a sizzling New Year!

Well, here we go again, another end to a calendar year. This quite possibly could be the most important part to every year. It is not so much the beginning but the end that we must clearly enhance our focus. For what reason? Because change always begins with an ending. Are you ready to close out this year and prepare for changing into something new? We all have endings and they are different for everyone. Some people dread endings, however, when we consider this as a pathway to new beginnings we can then identify benefits for greater life purpose.  Ponder on these four (4) benefits to endings and see if your ending can lead you on a new positive path and greater life purpose for the coming New Year:

1. PONDER THIS: Most people are caught off guard when it comes to an ending. In fact, they tell themselves a story about wanting to return to the way it was. The reality is, it will never be the way it was! The benefit: This is an opportunity for something new and different.
2. PONDER THIS: Endings present each of us with an awareness of choices. When we make choices for ourselves whatever they may be it strengthens our resilience. The benefit: We have an opportunity to become wiser with our new knowledge and additional life experience.
3. PONDER THIS: There are always positive and not so positive feelings after an ending. For the majority a link to fear is present. A powerful question to ask ourselves is, “what would I do if I was completely unafraid?” The benefit: We tend to ask ourselves questions that never were asked before which enable us to look for answers that will lead to results.
4. PONDER THIS: We will forever be in endings and how you respond, not react, will determine the positive outcomes. The benefit: An opportunity to build on the positive attributes accumulated from last year.  

Begin now to create a 12 month action plan and set new goals. Learn how to have great endings as you move toward new beginnings.
