Do You Know Where You Are Going?
If you're like so many people I know, you may have written down (or are they still in your head?) all the things you want to accomplish in the coming year. Awesome! A vision for your life and goals will help you get where you want to go. This makes your dreams feel more concrete and within reach. Goals give you focus, direction, and a way to measure if you are on the right track.
You live with intention and purpose when you have a vision because you know where you're going. Happen not to have one, hoping that things will improve on their own, and this will be another time in your life where your life will stay the same. Your relationship will coast or worsen. You won't feel fulfilled either because you'll not base your decisions on what you want but instead on what you don't want. You're more likely to make decisions on the spur of the moment instead of thought-out ones.
Try creating a vision of what you want in your relationship, marriage, and personal life. What would it look like if you could have the life you want? How would you feel once you've achieve your goals? How will this impact your life? Create a picture in your mind and hold that thought every day, especially when faced with challenges.
Then create your plan on how you will get there, the kinds of steps you will take, how you plan on staying on course, and see what happens. Even the tiniest steps will lead you to your goals. It's all a matter of taking that first step and moving forward.

Thank you for your post and am happy to connect with you. My word for 2014 is RESTORATION. This encompasses a lot of area. A few months ago I launched my memoir “Battered Hope” which I finally published after 10 years of therapeutic writing. I thought it would fly off the shelves but soon learned that social networking requires a lot of time, work and making connections. I have been thrilled with the people I have met and all the help there is to assist me in realizing my goal. I will continue to be diligent in 2014 and learn more, blog more, connect more. I know what Battered Hope has to offer hurting and hopeless people and that was the main reason for writing it — to help. On the other hand, it is a compelling book written as a novel with mystery. I am excited what will happen this new year and thank you for allowing me to ‘rant’
