Happy New Year!
I just got back from my very first gym workout of the year and had to take a moment to say thank you all the new folks that were there today. Whether new to the gym or getting back on track - your optimistic enthusiasm is palpable. There's such a quality of excitement and potential this time of the year that the 40% of us who make resolutions contribute to the collective energy all around us. It's yummy and infectious - and I love the positive intention and inspiration you exude. Thank you!
As I looked around me though, I wondered, if it's true that only 8% of the 40% of us who make resolutions will realize those dreams and intentions by year's end - how many of you will be here one month from now - let alone a year from now?
YOUR FUN FITTED FORMULA FOR SUCCESS........
As I climbed away on the stair master - I thought about the 92% of you slated to "fail" - or not fulfill your resolutions. What's going to help you be part of the 8%?
If any of your "resolutions" or intentions this year are unrealized resolutions from 2013 - and if you haven't come up with new ways to approach or realize your dreams that are different from last year - a new formula for success - I'm afraid to tell you you might as well kiss those recycled resolutions goodbye. Chances are - you will reap the same results (you know the old adage about insanity and all) unless you change (change your habits, your attitude, your approach, your success partners, your patterns, your thinking, your way of being...whatever it might be) and create and implement a new fitted formula for success.

What fixed and variable elements make up your fun fitted formula for success?
There is a wealth of information out there in books, on the Internet - not to mention programs and other resources - to help you achieve any goal, resolution or intention. So much so that it can be a bit overwhelming at times - especially if you are new to the subject at hand. For me - the "new" subject this year is marketing and branding. For you - it might be nutrition, or exercise, or career management, or managing a new team, or ___________________________ (fill in the blank for YOU!)
As you contemplate all of those helpful resources for your topic/resolution - access your inner wisdom - your internal guidance system - and ask yourself - what of all those tips, options and advice fit me? What - when added together - will equal a realized resolution for me at year (or project's) end? Do you know yourself well enough to know you need accountability? If yes - maybe working with a success partner - a friend, your romantic partner, a coworker, or a coach to help you consistently "show up" and stay accountable - to yourself! is part of your formula. Do you need information? If yes - then make gathering info a part of your formula. Do you need time? Time to exercise, do research, go to a class - whatever it might be? If yes - then proactively dedicate time on your calendar for those activities as part of your formula. Do you need to be compassionate and patient with yourself (and/or with others?) Do you need to replace a negative energy draining attitude with an attitude of gratitude? If yes - better include that in you formula too. If you are looking for a new job - do you need a stronger network? A few agency recruiters? If yes - make that a part of your fitted success formula. What else?
SUCCESS LIVES WITHIN YOU!
Know that there is no "right way" or "right formula" out there "outside of you" that will magically make your dreams come true. If there were - we'd all be rocking fit bods, working in dream jobs for the pleasure of it, and rolling in the dough with our soul mates. Instead - that right way or right formula exists within you.
It's your job to go within and partner with your inner wisdom to identify your very own personal formula for success - the variables and components of which fit YOU to a "T"- and to lead your life accordingly. Because that's the formula you're most likely to stick with. (disclaimer - when that formula gets old - and it will - and/or you get bored with it - which you will - instead of stopping - read that as the signal that you're ready to grow and develop to a new level - that it's time to tinker with, revise, refresh and/or create a new fitting formula that will help you grow.) That's the formula that's that going to help you make your resolutions bloom!
