It’ll be the same next year

Posted on by philipdodson

We get towards year ends and not only does that mean endless Facebook ‘My Year in Review’ posts but it also means we’ll say to ourselves ‘2018, it’s going to be a great year!!!’ then at the end 2018 we’ll say ‘well, this year didn’t quite go to plan, but 2019, it’s going to be a great year!!’ and then, the same cycle repeats.

It only changes when we take action to make the next year great. But the problem with making the ‘next year’ great, is a year is too big a time frame and the end of it is too far away to seem urgent enough.

What if we said ‘January 2018 is going to be a great month!!’? All of sudden it’s immediate and there is nowhere to hide.

We can all give ourselves an advantage

Posted on by philipdodson

There is one simple and easy advantage we can give ourselves.

But, like everything, it will take time to learn the habit, time for it to take effect, and it will require real commitment to keep it going.

All we need to do is care more deeply about the things that really matter to us.

Rarely does anyone fail to achieve their goals and dreams over a lifetime, if they really care deeply about them. That takes effort, dedication, determination and sacrifice. That is what caring about something takes. It also takes having a purpose to what we do and there are no right or wrong answers to what our own individual purpose is.

It’s not easy, so we have to be patient and kind to ourselves on the journey.

If it’s that simple, why aren’t we all doing it? Well, from my own experience, it takes a long time to realise it, it takes a long time to find our real purpose and desire to care. It also requires overcoming our fears and breaking our habits. Not easy, but it still remains simple.

Caring deeply does give us a huge advantage. Like most things, it’s a work in progress. that is it, getting even better.
