Reflections of 2011 Choose a couple of the list ideas below and have some fun:  Most proud? What are you most proud of in 2011? It’s been a rough year for many, maybe even for you, but if you think back I’m sure you can find at least ten shining moments.  Things learned? What did you learn this year? Did you have any breakthroughs?  Mistakes made; lessons learned. While my list would certainly exceed just ten, focus on the big mistakes you made, and more importantly, what lessons you learned from them.  Regrets (if any)? If you could turn back the clock, what would you change in 2011?  Friendships made? List new friends in 2011 and what you appreciate most about their friendship. Be sure to share your list with them.  Proud didn’t do? It’s not just what we do that matters, it’s often what we don’t do. What didn’t you do in 2011 that you are proud of?  Toughest decisions? Were there decisions in 2011 you agonized over? What did you learn from them? Why were they so difficult? Make your top 10 lists and share them with friends. And if you haven’t already, make sure you write yourself the one letter than can change your life and make 2012 your best year yet…

The Past....  “Praises for our past triumphs are as feathers to a dead bird.”  “Do good and then forget it”  SO everyday do good and wake up for a fresh start and perspective  ‎“I leave behind me both my failures and accomplishments. What I do today will create a new and better future, filled with inner joy."  DON’T BEAT YOURSELF UP-learn and grow

The present and future..... GOAL SETTING  Short Term vs. Long Term  Sikhi/Spirituality, physical, employment, general, reflection of 2010  Make them SMARTS  S- specific  M- measurable  A- achievable  R- realistic  T- time specific  S- support required?
