Welcome to 2008! Do you start each year with the best intentions and set goals, only to find yourself losing momentum and motivation weeks or months later? Would you like to live a life of passion, excitement and fulfillment each day? So that 2008 can be your most successful and fulfilling year yet?

Many people make New Years’ resolutions - they vow to lose weight, stop smoking, start a new career or business, do things differently in their business, etc. Yet, over 90% of people who make New Years’ resolutions break them only three weeks later. So why do people make a resolve to do or change something and then break that commitment to themselves... and so quickly?

Keeping a commitment to yourself

When you make a resolution and tell yourself that you will do or change something, you are essentially making a commitment to yourself. Yet, year after year many people continue to let themselves down. Why? Because the two essential ingredients for keeping any commitment to yourself are missing. Firstly, you need to have absolute clarity about what it is that you want, combined with absolute certainty that you can achieve it. Secondly, you need to know why you want it - you need to have a compelling purpose for doing it. Only then will you have the laser beam focus to achieve anything you desire … and fast!

Creating clarity

Being clear in your requests to the universe is the key to manifesting your desires. You need to realise that the universe is endlessly bountiful. Just put forth a clear enough request of exactly what it is that you desire and everything your heart desires will come to you.

Sometimes we may have unresolved past emotions, beliefs that hold us back, self doubts, negative internal dialogue or internal conflict, all of which can send mixed signals to the universe as to what we truly desire. This is the main reason that prevents people from achieving their goals and why people keep creating the same patterns again and again in their life. Aligning our beliefs, values, emotions, thoughts and words with what we desire in business and in life is the key to creating our dreams because these will drive our behaviours and actions and, therefore, the results we have in all areas of life.

The second reason preventing people from achieving their goals is lack of action or taking the same action and expecting a different result.

The power of purpose

Always have a purpose for taking any action, for doing anything in life. For example, if you want to start a new career, ask yourself why you want to do it, how will you feel as you are doing it, how will you feel once you achieve it, what will you gain or how will you and others benefit when you have your new career?

We all have a higher purpose in life - a purpose which extends beyond the physical, mental and emotional. In order to become aware of our true purpose in life, we need to allow ourselves to be completely open and vulnerable to our true selves. And we can only do that once we stop judging ourselves, putting ourselves down and beating up on ourselves. It begins with total appreciation, gratitude and love of our true self.

Once we discover our life purpose and set goals that are aligned with that purpose, we will find more passion, drive and motivation in life - from within. And every action we take towards achieving our goals will seem so effortless and enjoyable!
