So here we are....we made it to 2009. Yippeee. I am quite happy to be starting new and leaving last year behind. Not that it was a particularly bad year or anything, it just seemed there was a lot of struggle which I am happy to release. The struggle of course brought invaluable learning which is great as well as tiring.

This time of year can bring a lot of pressure to begin taking action in your life. The other day at work I was asked by a co-worker; "Ross, what are your New Year's resolutions"? Well the truth is that I don't have any. My thoughts around this New Year are that it feels like we can begin to really focus on what it is that we want in our lives and get it.

So I find myself in a place of simply having an awareness of what I want with a keen eye on where I can take action. Ready to pounce like a cat going for the prey. The fact is that if I think of all steps it will take to fulfill change in areas of my life it can be overwhelming. On the other side of that if I am really clear on what I want I will know what to jump on when the opportunity presents itself. We tend to get so caught up in "how" we need to accomplish our goals that we miss the real opportunities that come along. It is also a way of allowing yourself to be present in the moment and live your life without getting swept away in the details. After a brief discussion, my co-worker said that she was planning to go to Australia after graduation and there was a lot of stress around it. We agreed on the fact that by letting go of the details she would also be "trusting" herself to take all the right steps that would indeed get her to her goals. I believe that if we are truly going after what we want, nothing can get in our way and we will be keenly aware of the opportunities that arise that allow us to take action. So the real question is not necessarily what are your resolutions. The real question is what do you truly want in 2009? Remember to enjoy the ride.....
