New Year Resolutions

Three years ago I read a book called "Odd Thomas" by Dean Koontz.  Although I don't read a lot of fiction this one proved to be one of my favorites. In the book is a quote by the main character Odd.  I can't remember the exactly so I will paraphrase.  It is something like this:

We always long for tomorrow and the progress it will bring, but today was once a "tomorrow" and what happened the achievement that should have been?

I love this quote because it forces us to be accountable.  What goals did you set last year that didn't come to pass?  Are you longing for tomorrow to achieve those goals?

As I thought about it more I had an epiphany. I realized that the only way to achieve tomorrow's goals is to plan and work TODAY to make those goals a reality. 

Whether your goal is to make Million Dollar Round Table or enough money to buy that new car you have your eye on, you can't wait until next week or next month to start working toward that goal. You must start today because before you know it the future will be the present and you will need to account for time spent.

Make this year a great one by starting today to work toward the goals that are most important to you.
