At the end of 2011 I read Reinventing yourself by Mark Chandler. It was a great book to jump start my new year. Some of the key highlights in the book were
Use of Language: What kind of language do you use to describe your situation. Is it self-defeating and depreciating? Watching your language will help you figure out what you really think about a situation. Perspective is everything and it is birthed by thoughts. This year pay attention to what you are thinking and watch how it makes a world of difference.
Victim vs. Owner: Do you own your life or do you feel like there are always external factors that are contributing to it. Some of us let life just happen and then complain when it does not happen like we would have wanted it to. Do you have a plan? Do you have some means to achieve your goals this year? Work on those goals and watch how it changes the outcome. We will not always have everything we want but we can work hard and see great results.
Action vs Intention: Do you find yourself in the renown valley of intentions? It is a depressing place to be. Sooner or later it gets tiring thinking about all the things you wish for or could have or should have. A different approach is action. Set realistic goals and reach them one step at a time. If you need to stay more connected, set up a calling schedule or coffee date schedule. We live in a busy world and your friends will be grateful for your effort as opposed to hearing excuses.
There is so much more useful material in this book. It is a very easy read and I highly recommend it. You can get it from Amazon and start your adventure of learning and growing.
