It’s 7:00am and your arm shakes as it wanders to find the sound of you clock to make it stop. You have maybe an hour to pull yourself together and get out the door before you are late. You want more energy and time to …

This video covers the accountability partner definition. Everyone needs someone to hold them accountable for any new change that is wanted. Personally I have various people that I hold accountable many different ways. Sometimes it’s as simple as a text at 4:30am to remind someone …
Read MoreYou may ask yourself why did he not finish the heading “Out with the past in with the?” In with the what? The New? Nope.
In with dream. I cannot say in with new because your dream is nothing new. It has always been inside of you, just buried under a bunch of stuff.
Stuff like: other people’s expectations, family expectations, what your wife agrees with, what hubby thinks, what your friends think is acceptable.
So much so that you forgot to dream. Forgot who you are and why you were placed here. Maybe you never really thought about it at all because you always followed what you saw other people around you do.
I’m not trying to beat you up. I want you to Dream again or dream for the first time.
Where can you have the most impact? What the things you are good at?
Do you have some ideas in your head? Good. Now combine them. How can you use what comes the most easily to you to affect the most people in a positive way?
This is the first step to finding out who you really are.
This video is for all of those people that are trying to achieve something that maybe bigger than them.
You speak with family or close friends that don’t always share your vision or even understand you.

And no living being can dream appropriately if he or she is distracted by busy.

Read MoreHow to set a new year resolution
I am not in favor of massive new year resolutions where you save the world, end world hunger and get the girl of your dreams all in one year.
Maybe you can accomplish one of those but all three? Come on now…it ain’t happening.
Try not to bite off more than you can chew. Take one or two things you really want to improve and work on them exclusively.
I almost want to tell you to only pick one major resolution, then plan to build the habit of improving once a week. If you are really brave schedule once a week and increase the days each week.
Just something to think about.
