I hope everyone of you have set some personal goals for 2010 by now.

Goals-  There’s no telling what you can do when you get inspired by them.  There’s no telling what you can do when you believe in them.  And there’s no telling what will happen when you act upon them.  If you go to work on your goals, your goals will go to work on you.  If you go to work on your plan, your plan will go to work on you.  Whatever good things we build end up building us.

 NEVER FORGET

The major reason for setting a goal is for WHAT IT MAKES YOU to accomplish it.  What it MAKES YOU will always be FAR GREATER VALUE THAT WHAT YOU GET.

The ultimate reason for setting goals is to entice you TO BECOME THE PERSON IT TAKES TO ACHIEVE THEM.

One of my yearly goals is to become a better Doctor this year compared to the last.  I am certain this goal has challenged me to become a focused person along my travelled road.

Be WELL !

Happy New Year!

 

 

Over the holiday I read this from J.C. Hutchins- its good.

 

“Most of us settle in, and settle for what we have. Rather

than pursue, we accept. Our lives become unwitting

celebrations of passivity. We undervalue our work and

perceive ourselves as wage slaves, we consume compulsively (but not

create), we pine for better lives (but live vicariously

through our televisions).

These corners we paint ourselves into, it’s no way to live.

There’s no adventure here, no passion, no hunger for

change. Remember that relentless optimism you once

had? The goals you wished to achieve, before settling in?

They’re still there. You need a nudge to find them; a

little gumption.

You can start that business. You can lose that weight.

You can quit smoking, and learn to garden, and write

that book, and be a better parent, and be all the things

you want to be … the thing this world needs you to be. It

requires courage and faith, both of which you can

muster. It requires effort — but this effortless life isn’t as

satisfying as it seems, is it?

Declare war on passivity. Hush the inner voice that

insists you’re over the hill, past your prime, unworthy of

attaining those dreams. Disbelief is now the enemy, as is

the notion of settling. Get hungry — hyena hungry. Get

fired up. Find your backbone, and your wings.

Flap ‘em. It’s the only way you’ll be able to fly.”

 

Make 2010 your best year ever!
