Masterful Mindsets – Not Just a New Year – A New Decade
“Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow.” ~ Albert Einstein
2020 is just days away… and as we anticipate the start of a new year, like most years, there is hope and excitement. But perhaps this year, there’s even more. As we realize that not only is a new year upon us – but we are at the gateway to a new decade. Wow! Think about that for a minute…
Pretty exciting right?
After all, a lot can happen in a decade! Look back and think about how much your life has likely changed in the last 10 years. You may have gotten a degree, started a new career or business. You might have found love and gotten married or you might have gotten out of a toxic relationship. You may have had children or become an empty nester. You likely experienced the loss of loved ones and changes in friendships. Maybe you bought a home, a car or sold it all. You might have traveled for fun or fought a great battle in your life. Whatever the case… there is no doubt, life has moved in many directions within the last 10 years. Interestingly enough, for most people, it moved along on autopilot, without them even realizing they had the potential to be in the driver’s seat and choose their direction the majority of the time.
So what will this next decade look like? I’ve been referring to 2020 as the year of clarity. (Get it? 20/20) A year to get clear on what you really want, not just for this next year but for the next decade. A year to focus in on what’s most important in life and make sure you keep your focus there. After all, none of us are guaranteed we’ll have another decade or even another year. So isn’t it time to start living it well? Isn’t it time to start following your dreams and taking bold actions to make them a reality?
Spend some time today, reflecting on the last year and the past decade. Think about the wins, the losses, the changes for the better and for the worse. Take a deep breath and be thankful for all the experiences and life lessons you’ve learned. Then get clear about what you want the next year to look like. Envision the next decade… Get a clear vision for where you want your life to go, what goals and dreams do you want to achieve?
If you don’t have a clear vision that you can focus on, you’ll end up on autopilot again, letting your reactions steer your direction. Make this year be the year your life gains clear direction and purpose. Set a course to reach that destination you’re dreaming of and then take control and step into that driver’s seat. This is your time!
