Will 2021 be your best year?

Do you set goals for yourself? For the past 25 years, I've been in a Master Mind group with link-minded friends. Which means I write my goals down, create an action plan, check in daily with my progress and weekly share my progress with my group. 

In 1995, the first year, I participated in Master Mind, one of my biggest dreams was to go to Indonesia. At that time, I was recently divorced and had never traveled outside of the US, or by myself. 

In 1997, reviewing my 1996  accomplished goals, I realized that I had done it. I had gone to Bali, Indonesia for 6 weeks. It was a miracle. That experience changed my life. I took a risk. It took courage, all my money and the desire to step outside of my comfort zone. I learned to speak Bahasa Indonesia, a few words at a time, by speaking everyday to the people.  My love for foreign cultures and the people who speak different languages continue to grow.

Happy New Year. What dreams do you have for your life? What baby steps can you take to make them come real? Let me know in the comments below.  

Here's a way to start a new habit.  Check out the 10 minute YouTube video below.
