Who do You Want to Become in the Next Year?

For each of us, the end of the year brings on thoughts of looking back at what our year was like and what we what we want to accomplish in the next year. We start thinking about goals like losing weight and making money. But do we also think about who we want to become?

When thinking about “who do I need to become” to grow and achieve my goals, here are some questions you can ask yourself in the coming week. Ponder these questions and journal your thoughts to refer back to later.  As you sit and ponder, answers will come to you. This will help you discover more about who you are and who you can become. 

• Am I the leader I need to be in the different areas of my life?
• Am I feeding my mind ideas and inspiration that will support and bolster my goals?
• Do I seek and cultivate the strength and greatness in everyone around me?
• Do I deliver excellence in my relationships and continually find ways to “uplift” them?
• Am I a disciplined master of my time?
• Do I have the discipline to change habits to become a better ME?
• Do I give myself credit for the strengths I do have?
• Am I always working to improve myself?
• What are some small things I can change that will help me grow?
• How can I be a better friend, spouse, or sibling? 
• What attributes or habits do I see in others that I would like to develop?

These are just a few of the questions that can help you revitalize, restore, and recommit to becoming the person you want to be to achieve your goals for the new year.

As the end of the year rolls around and the holiday season is upon us I urge you to be present this next week with those relationships that are important to you. Take some time to just enjoy the moment and bask in the love of the people around you. Ponder these questions over the next week, journal the thoughts you have, then read back over them and see if there is anything more you can add.
