1. Act as though it were impossible to fail

Never count yourself out. By having faith and believing in your goals for the 2013 calendar year you are already a step ahead of the majority of the population. Be specific when you write your goals down, and then go in that direction without fail.

2. Understand it takes time for things to change

If you are in the process of transitioning from one perspective to another, know that time is your allie. As long as you have your health and strength, make every effort to be patient about what is coming to you. Consider the Chinese Bamboo tree

3. Join forces with someone

Enlist the help of someone who is at a similar stage in life and ride the wave of 2013, because it’s going to be a big one. For people who are actively involved and highly engaged it is always a good thing to have a second or third person to help master life’s balancing act

4. Be relentless in your pursuits

The law of averages says that if you try, try, try you will eventually reach a desired end. This means that you have to truly want what it is you say you want. Get this year started with some consistency and watch how the tide favors the prepared.

5. Do what other people don’t do

For some reason hard work is a thing of the past for a portion of the population. For budding champions, this is a great opportunity to separate you from the pack. While others are sitting on their hands, you go out and stretch your potential to its maximum

6. Remain calm and cheerful

Outside of living, breathing creatures, nothing you can see with your eyes and touch with your hands is irreplaceable. When the time may seem to call for outrage, fear, or anger resist the temptation. These emotions are day killers and should be replaced with thankfulness

7. Re-create yourself

Do something different. We all know the definition of insanity, so plan accordingly. If you are expecting to see the next level of your life unfold in 2013, create that person you want to be by acting the part. It starts with a thought.

8. Follow up with some people

I am sure there are a few golden opportunities from 2012 that are still open for you. Have you made that follow up phone call or sent that e-mail that could catapult you into a memorable first quarter? If not, now is the time. Start the conversation with a joyful, “Happy New Year!”

9. Take a personal assessment

Decide if where you are and what you are doing is sufficient to aid in your desired progress. If you are living in unsatisfactory conditions decide what needs to change. The person in the mirror is waiting for you, and ready to help you claim your spot in the winner’s circle.

10. Have some fun!

Laughing, singing, and dancing make your heart happy. Give your cheek bones some exercise with a good laugh. Let your spirit grow with the singing of songs. Dance the day and night away to get your energy going. These are all time tested proven approaches to fulfillment.
