Ramblings for 2011

   Well New Years eve came and went, I think I was in bed by 10 pm totally ragged out thanks to my coach who is sitting in his climate controlled room thinking of ways he can kill me . I got allot of calls from friends and family yesterday and you know this is the time for stating resolutions for the New Year. Resolutions tend to fall into two categories, I Will or I Will Not, can I get an Amen on that? I approach things a little different as I am a different sort of guy, but highly realistic! Or at least sensible despite what my X wives say




I set goals, realistic, functional and date specific goals. To me Goals are different than resolutions in many ways but one very specific way. Think about it in football sense; What field goal kicker walks out on the field resolving (like he has a doubt) to kick it between the Goal posts? Nope that guy goes out with the attitude that he IS ( a word made famous by slick willy) going to kick that football through the Goal posts no matter what, no doubt there!



So here is the point you can will youself into failure ( how many of you woke up today swearing you would NEVER DRINK AGAIN? But kept the coupon for 20% off Bud for next weekend?) or you can set realistic goals break-em down into small steps and walk up the ladder of success one rung at a time.



SO here is how I look at things:



1) Realistic Goal

2) Specific Time Frame

3) Specific Outcome

4) Very detailed course of action with mile stones (ie: how to get there ) written down

5) Read and re-read every day

6) In the end Nike was right Just do IT!
