How Did The Move Go?

Last year here around this time, I put forth a series of questions for you to ponder as you began to move into 2007. As a refresher, or if you're new to the series and didn't catch it the first time around, here they are:

•   How many goals did I achieve in the past year?

•  What goals are to be carried over into the next year and where am I in achieving them?

•  What new ones would I like to set?

•  What are the challenges that need to be worked on?

• What have I learned in the past year that I can put to use this year?

• What inner resources can I continue to tap into to gain more confidence?

Check and see how you did. If you looked these over last year, perhaps you wrote things down. If you didn't, you might want to do that this year. Putting things in print tends to be powerfully effective. It makes the goals more real and tangible, it starts you off in tracking your progress, and you remember them. I did that as I made my plans to move to Nashville . Whenever I would get discouraged about how part of my plans were going, I'd look at that list I posted by my computer and feel much better noting the things that did work.

Writing down your dreams and goals certainly worked for country music artist Marty Stuart. I went to his "Sparkle and Twang" country music memorabilia exhibition a few months ago. The most striking item to me there was an essay Marty wrote in the 6th grade about how he planned to have a career as a musician. Just about everything he listed in there came to pass for him. Now that's focus and being committed.

How did you do? Congrats on making things happen in 2007, and here's to moving well into 2008!

Be an encourager...and be encouraged!
