Review and Plan

Welcome, we are glad to be with you. As you have moved into the last month of your year, please take the time to review what worked and what could have been done better in the past year. As you do that, also notice how far you have come in the past year, it has been a major year of growth for many of you. In the areas that you could have done better, how would you handle it now that you’ve had time to think about it? Do you think you would do better? Even if the answer is no, give yourself credit for being willing to look at it and recognize where you are. If you can do that, you have space now to grow and heal.

Once you have spent some time in review, it’s time to start thinking about what you would like to accomplish in the new year. And we are not talking about the usual goals, more about how do you want to grow, what do you want to learn, and what adventures you want to have. Yes, it is good to have plans to grow and learn but make sure you leave room for adventures and new experiences. Life is not meant to be all work. Many of you miss out on the joy that’s out there. One of the ways you can experience joy is to create opportunities to experience it. You could make a list of things that bring you joy and make sure you do some of them each month, plan to have fun, plan to enjoy life, and don’t let another year pass without making an effort to have more joy and fun. Take some chances and try new things, even if it turns out that those things aren’t for you, just trying something new brings a change within you.

We love you, we support you, and we hope you have fun.
