A new rebirth for this year

Well here we go again, the New Year is rolling in and the last year is rolling out.  Here is the challenge for most people, did you accomplish everything you wanted in 2016. For most people, the answer is no, but for the few that can answer yes, I applaud you and your accomplishments. For those that didn’t quite make it to the finish line, I applaud your efforts as well. See the challenge facing most people is that they feel like they are a failure if they didn’t lose the weight, learn a new language, achieve that promotion, or whatever their goal was. I want you know that Failure is an event, not a person.  You can fail but that doesn’t make you a failure.

The good news is that every day that we wake up is another opportunity to take control of your life, your future, your financial situation, your faith, or whatever is important to you. If we are traveling down the wrong path, all it takes is to take the first step on the right path, then the second, followed by the third, and so on.

I love the fact that in this country we all have the gift of going second.  This is simply a belief that once someone has accomplished the dreams that you have, then you can follow in their footsteps and have the same success. I wonder why people still say that the sky is the limit, there are footprints on the moon.  I believe that anything we set our minds toward, we can make a reality.

With that thought, I will be posting a personal blog each week, these posts will be related to building a better life, financially, personally, and spiritually. I will discuss the current issues that impact our ability to  generate wealth, build our business or live a lifestyle of our choosing.

Happy New Year Everyone!
