Just because you’ve been losing doesn’t mean you are lost

As the year draws to a close many of us turn our thoughts to what has been and what is to come.

It is the what has been in 2011 that pre-occupies many people I meet from day to day. For many it has been a difficult year. Losing jobs, losing loved ones, losing direction, losing friendships, losing the head!

Remember, always remember the words of Coldplay- Just because you’ve been losing, doesn’t mean you are lost!

Whatever 2011 has held for you, it is over. A new year is dawning, and if you follow the Celtic calendar, New Year’s day was yesterday.

Regardless of your circumstances, 2012 is another year. another time. Seize it.

I always love the time between Christmas and New Year’s almost as much as I do Christmas. During this time, whether it is on a long run or watching one of those Christmas movies you’ve seen a hundred times- you know the ones, that I begin to look to the year ahead. Get excited about charting a new course. As with every year there will be challenges, there will be difficulties, but this is where we grow. I love to write down some “Love To’s” That is things I would love to do in the year ahead.

How about you do the same. What would you love to do, see, study, say, tell, ask for, shout, sing, embrace,  achieve in 2012. When you have that in mind go to the “how to” and be clear on the first three steps you need to take to bring it from a “love to” to reality.

Whatever you think you can do- do it, even if you think you can’t- do it anyways. Have fun, and remember- if in 2011 you’ve been losing, it doesn’t mean you are lost. Time to get found….
