Each New Year presents us with opportunities, but it is up to us to seize them and make something out of them. The possibilities are endless.

Don't view 2009 as just another year. View it as your year - the best year ever! I challenge you to put thought and care into the resolutions you make for the New Year with the intent to carry them out. Otherwise, they are just a bunch of empty words without meaning.

Whether you resolve to get fit, to start a new business venture, or to be the change you want to see in the world, it is up to you to make it happen.

Here are three tips to help you be the best version of yourself in 2009. Remember, you only live once so go for it.

Tip #1: Raise The Bar: In order to reach for the stars, you must set your goals accordingly. Take a leap of faith and push yourself beyond your perceived limitations. You might even surprise yourself. After all, the only one who can place limitations on you is yourself.

Tip #2: Think Out Of The Box: Don't hesitate to try something new and different in an effort to reach your goals. If you continue to do the same 'ole things in the same 'ole fashion, you're going to end up right back where you started in your original box.

Tip #3: No Excuses: Making excuses only sets you up to fail. Procrastination leads to no where fast so start today!

Health & Success,

Alison
