In 2014, what have you got to lose?

When you look at the year 2014, you usually think about what you want to achieve or acquire. In my case, like most ambitious people, I want to acquire a new talent such as learning how to speak Latin or publishing my 2 new books etc.

I don’t know what your goals are. I don’t know what you want to achieve this year. But, I would like you to realize that it is as important to let go of the old and useless habits that are clogging up your life, as it is to acquire new things.

For a sponge to gather more water, it has to rid itself of what it has, before it can soak up some more.

Sometimes I am so concerned with attaining new heights of success that I am unaware that I am carrying around emotional cargo in the background of my mind that serve only to slow me down.

Any negative emotions such as envy, self doubt, animosity or hatred can only hurt you both physiologically and financially. These emotions slow your performance and are injurious to your health. It is a far, far better thing you do to leave them behind.

So I am taking another look at myself to try to find weeds and obstacles that are embedded in my life and I would like to invite you to join me on this journey of self examination. The more time you spend examining yourself the faster you will get to your desired destination.

While the year is still young, take a serious lingering look at your life again and consider, not what you want to get, but what you want to lose.

Ask yourself these 3 questions:

What unnecessary burdens are you carrying around with you?

What keeps you awake at night?

What bad habits are you still holding on to that is standing in the way of your progress?

What emotions do you need to delete from your life?

Assess your relationships and see who is holding you back. What committees do you need to resign from? What feelings of anger, guilt or unforgiveness do you need to release?

Whom do you need to forgive so you can travel more freely?

Look at your life in this way and rid yourself of anything that might impede your progress as you race towards your goals. This is your time to soar.

Make 2014 your best year ever
