If we would only give, just once, the same amount of reflection to what we want to get out of life that we give to the question of what to do with a two weeks’ vacation, we would be startled at our false standards and the aimless procession of our busy days.

Happy Monday Friends & Family!!! This is the last week of June which means we will officially enter the 2nd half of 2011. Time to take score!

As we reflect back on the the first half of the year where do we find ourselves in the game of life? Have we made our dreams, wishes, desires for this year come true? Are we over or underwhelmed by our own performance so far? The answers to these questions will be very important to what goes on for the remainder of the year. If you are winning and moving in the right direction then you have a blueprint for what to continue doing. If however you find your self behind on making this the best year of your life, know that change is not only possible but that it is needed.

The direction that your life is actually moving in speaks so loudly that often the things we say we want get drowned out with the busy work and the distractions of our day to day lives. This is the way to live only if you are comfortable standing still or slipping backwards all of your days. What I know from the people who read this messages every day is that certainly is not who any of you are. The alternative is what? Change direction.

The best year of your life is not just possible its more than likely if you decide to make it so. Things that happened prior to this week don’t matter accept to learn from them. What really matters is today! What really matters is this week! What really matters is the path you walk from here. I have this feeling that I’m going to see you all walking the path that leads to an amazing rest of 2011 and the amazing life that accompanies it!!!
