1. To face the coming year's problems use HOPE, faith, and your
trust in God and His wisdom to guide you to the future that's
right for you. You can create your own future by focusing your
thoughts on what you wish to accomplish. Know that you are
responsible for everything that happens in your life - both good
and bad. 2. Make it your ASPIRATION to achieve something
worthwhile. Learn a new skill, or seek greater knowledge in
areas you don't now have. Seek and master new ways to do
something that's already been done -and- do it better! Use the
power of purpose by giving whatever it is you desire the highest
amount of your attention. This determines how successful you
will become.
3. Make a concentrated effort to improve, grow, and PROSPER.
Increase your financial security. Dare to be happy. Exercise and
stay in good health. Keep a positive attitude. Do whatever it
takes to improve your personal and business image. And know that
your relationship with giving is the spiritual source of your
true prosperity.
4. Treat your life, family, friends, and others you meet as a
PRECIOUS gift to be enjoyed, and of great value. Regard them
with a love that is special and - it will all come back to you.
Send forth good and it multiples. Honor every one you come in
contact with today, tomorrow, and make it an ongoing behavior.
This too, is paid back to you by the Universe.
5. To YEARN is to express compassion. In this coming new year,
experience it and show compassion for those less fortunate then
you are. Offer ways to help others whenever and wherever you
can. Give only good. The more you give of yourself, the more
comes back to you. It may help make this a better world. 6.
Learn to NETWORK and link to other like-minded individuals;
whether it's in an educational, business, or social setting the
benefits can add to your growth and success. Celebrate and share
your abilities so that you can attract more of the same. 7.
Be EAGER to learn new things. Opportunities are all around you.
Having an intense passion or desire to find new opportunities is
the sign of an enthusiastic person. This desire comes from God.
In order for you to find new opportunities, always move toward
your goal with a spiritual awareness. 8. WISDOM - the ability
to make well thought out decisions comes from maturity and
understanding. In any given situation, it is wise not to judge
until all facts are understood. Be open to understanding
another's point of view. Do you look at the world with a
positive or a negative vision? 9. YESTERDAY is a day that has
just passed. Now you are free to live in the present. Use each
new day wisely and full of gratitude for every hour, every
minute, and every second. Set goals for each day and take
specific actions that will help you accomplish them. 10.
ELOQUENT. Are you confident, persuasive and effective in the way
you communicate? When speaking with others how would you rate
yourself? Are you always voicing negative opinions? Or, are you
positive in expressing your thoughts? 11. ADVERTISE. For those
in business, always make the positive features and benefits of
your product or service known. Appeal to the emotions of your
prospective client. Give quality service and products so that
your self-esteem is strengthened and your reputation is valued.
12. - In the coming new year, here's hoping that you will
REWARD yourself for any successful personal and business
achievements. Improve your skills where and when needed. Change
any negative habits, and always follow His guidance in all
things you attempt to do.
May this New Year bring you many blessings of good health,
dreams to come true, prayers to be answered, and gratitude for
all. Remember: "Life is a series of new beginnings and in every
ordinary moment there are a thousand miracles to behold."
