       At the end of each year people

 tend to make various resolutions for

 the new year.Reguardless of your

 intentions,you need to back it up with

 a strong commitment.Also,consider

 getting a partner to help you. Write

 down your intentions and read it

 everyday until you accomplish your

 goal. Additionally,make sure that 

 it has meaning and is growth

 facilitating.

   It has been said that moments after

 you take your first breath,you have

 started to die.In otherwords,your days

 and years are numbered.We see the

 evidence of this everyday. People,

 young and old,are leaving this world

 in massive numbers. Therefore,we

 should take note of this and start

 making the most of the days that we

 have left. You know,tomorrow isn’t

 promised.

“Choose to live your life to the fullest” 

 — before death comes a calling !

[ One day you’re here and then

     you’re gone ] 

… don’t fret, we have more articles

 on the way !

     Someone asked, which is more

     important skill or talent ?My

     personal opinion is that they

     are both essential to your

      personal growth.

    Take for example,your hands and

    your feet.You do things with your

    hands,but it’s your feet that really

     take you where you want to go.

     Therefore,we need to embrace

     both our talents and our skills.

     For we are the sum total of both! 

     Someone once said , in order to

     move forward you have to take

      a step back. It reminds me of

     when I waited at a trainstop.

     The train conducter kept backing

     the train up, so that he could

     release some of the other train

     cars.Why,you may ask? So that the

     rest of the train could go forward.

     We should try this as well. We

     need to backup and let go of the

     things that are keeping us from

     becoming what God wants us to be.

     Let go of those things that are

     keeping us from having the things

     we can have !

           ” Let  Go and Let God “

               Many people believe ;       

  money , possessions , and bank

  accounts represent a person’s

  wealth.Well , I feel that without

  your  health ; your wealth will 

  always be in doubt.

          Also , I read about a very rich     

   elderly couple who were in really

   poor health. So much in fact;instead

   of letting their medical bills eat

   away at their vast fortune.They

   decided to donate their wealth to

   charity and they died together in

   their garage( they died from the

   fumes of their vehicle ).

           You probably have noticed ,  

  from the first moments our minds

  began to conceive thoughts. We

  begin to wonder what life is all about.

        Researchers say, it takes most

  people 30 - 40 years before they

  realize what theywant to do in life.

        The mind is like a water-pump.  

  In order to get water from a well,

  you have to prime the pump with

  water. In like fashion , if you want

  to get good thoughts and ideas from

  the well of your mind.You must

  prime your brain with good facts ,

  words , and thoughts.

“Take the time,and prime your mind!”

         It seems like everyday there’s

   an never-ending assault on our

   priorities. Therefore, I say,guard

   your priorities ! Everyone wants to

   decide what’s most important to us.

         Again , I say this ; ” you are the

   one who decides what’s important.”

   Don’t let other people or other things

   choose your priorities.

            There are other things such as, 

   jobs,government agencies,and peer

   pressure  that will try and select your

   priorities.

          ” So be on guard against them. “

              Personal Development is

  more-than dreaming about who or

  what you think you want to be.It’s

  about going out and exploring new

  things. It’s about pursuing your 

  interest,setting goals,and following

  that small still voice inside of you.

                Also , it’s about change.

  In order for you to develop into the

  person you need to become, you are 

  going to have to change!

             You must make calculated 

  adjustments  in these six areas of

  your life :                

                            1)  Spiritual  

                            2)  Mental   

                            3)  Family

                            4)  Physical

                            5)  Financial

                            6)  Career / job

      Everyone doesn’t have the same

 life or lifestyle . Therefore ,you must

 choose what adjustments you want to

 make.

           Yes, use your dreams ,desires , 

 and wants to help you set worthwhile

 goals. Goals that will inspire you to

 develop the skills and enhance the

 talents you were born with.

     Remember, it’s going to take some 

 time before you get the results you’re

 looking for.

 Nevertheless, remain focused

 and never,never,ever give up ! 

                   I’ve discovered in life,

 there are many different choices that

 we have to make. However,I’ve also

 found some,” crucial choices ,” you

 need to be aware of.

           You want to be careful about

 career that you choose. Also, be

 mindful of the ;”company you keep! ”

       Additionally, give great thought 

 about the person you pick as a mate.

   Futhermore,take careful thought 

 as to the area of town you want to

 live in,the size of your home, the type

 of vehicle you want to drive,the zone

 of your kids school,as well as what

 do with your money .

           All of these are some of the,  

“crucial choices ,” you will have to

 decide on. Don’t forget that , in the

 multitude of counselors ;
