The Past is NOT the Future

Hi all,

Now that we're a few days into 2010 it is time to reflect on 2009...what am I saying. 2009 was a horrible year! Why would anyone want to reflect on the events that occurred last year? Alright that might be a little harsh since someone watched their first child being born, a child walked for the first time, someone watched a child graduate High School or college, some people were promoted to a new position (at least one person...somewhere...maybe?), and over 15 million people received a new lease on life being laid off.

Being laid off is more of a gift than a slap in the face. It opens so many doors that were closed before that people who were laid off are free to be who they were destined to be. They can change careers, rebalance their work and family life, and ultimately learn that life isn't about working for that next vacation to live.

Although earning a living is important. How we earn that living is the most important and that is what each of us need to reflect upon. Were we able to spend time with things that are important such as family, friends, hobby, or just time with yourself?

I suggest you take time to figure out where you have been and where you want to go. Another year past and that is one less we have to walk, talk, and leave our mark!

Until next time...
