Joy...FULL!

There are a few things that I just don’t do at the start of a new year…vision boards, setting goals months in advance, making new year’s resolutions (I despise new year’s resolutions). But I was sitting quietly with my thoughts yesterday and I realized that if I’m going to enjoy more success and growth in 2022, I have to do some things differently than I have in the past. I received a beautiful planner and notebook for Christmas and it’s only right to put them both to work!

And so here we are. I found myself setting long term goals for this year and working my way backwards with measurable action items (mini goals) to be taken throughout the year. Now I know this is just basic stuff, no rocket science here, and I’ve known to do these things all along but I was living a very lazy existence and wondering why I wasn’t as successful as I wanted to be. I had to take a good look in the mirror and call myself out for sitting back and waiting for opportunities to come knocking on my door. It doesn’t work that way, y’all.

If 2020 and 2021 taught us anything, it was that you never know what life will throw at you. You have to get busy doing the work of living your best life because the one commodity you will never regain is time! It’s time to start living intentionally and purposefully. There is a reason each of us is here. We all have a calling in life and we must fulfill it. When you get on track I guarantee you will find your joy is so much more full every day!

I still will never set a new year’s resolution. I feel like it’s a set up for causing yourself to feel like a failure in two weeks when you forget or get off track somehow. Set goals and live your life with purpose. Joy will always follow!

Happy New Year, my friends! Let’s make 2022 the best one yet!
