2020 Vision

This year is going to be different!! Ever said that?

This decade is going to be awesome!! I mean it!

What a fantastic time to be alive and to be able to wrap your brain around some clear and specific goals. Not only for the next year, but what a better time to set your 10 year vision than in 2020!

Determine

Do you ever feel like just giving up? You’ve set goals before and haven’t reached them, maybe like me you’ve come out on the other side even farther behind than when you started. That happened to me this year.

On New Year’s day last year, I set fitness goals, I set business goals, I set social goals, and financial goals that I didn’t even make a dent in. At the end of the year, I weighed more than I have ever weighed in my life, I still have two unpublished half drafts of books to write, I still don’t have a friend I could call for a cup of sugar in my new town, and well, I have no idea where my fiances are.

So you might ask, what makes you think this year is going to be any different? Because, I DETERMINE it. Determine means to “cause (something) to occur in a particular way; be the decisive factor in.” I determine what will be for me, you determine what will be for you.

You DETERMINE for you. You determine what you will and what you won’t (or don’t) do. What do you want to cause to occur? Do you want to lose weight, do you want to finish writing that book, do you want to make new friends, or straighten out your finances. Do you or don’t you? You determine.

DESIGN

Once you determine it, then design it. What exactly is it going to look like at the end of the year, at the end of the decade? Are you going to be stronger, more flexible, have more energy? Is your book going to be written, published? Will you be writing a series by the end of the decade? What does your social circle look like? How much have you saved or how much debt have you paid off?

Once you know what it looks like, design the steps you are going to take every day to make it happen. Maybe you get up fifteen minutes early to get your morning workout in or walk the dog before you go to work. Maybe you plan your meals for the day the night before so you aren’t tempted to pick up fast food on the way home. Do you have a budget? Have you tried inviting acquaintances out to lunch? Do you have a set time to sit down and write each day?

DEDICATE

This isn’t rocket science. You know what you need to do, you just have to do it. You need to do it today, not tomorrow. You need to do it every day.

You have determined to see your vision come true, you have determined to achieve your goals. You have designed a daily routine to achieve them. Now dedicate yourself to that design.

So why do I think this year is going to be any different than last year? Because I determined it is going to be. I designed my year and I am dedicated to seeing that design come to life.

I invite you to follow me on this journey. Let’s hold ourselves accountable this year, this decade. As we dig a little deeper into the thoughts and science of personal development, as we set out on that quest for our highest potential and most authentic selves.

Determine to live your best life now. Your new life, designed by you, the one you determined for you. Be true to yourself and dedicate yourself to it!
