As we approach the end of 2009, we naturally look back to the accomplishments of the year. We recall the resolutions made at the beginning of the year that died an early death. We remember those that became part of our daily routine. We think about the things we tried to change but couldn't and the things that we should have changed but didn't.
The problem is that we sometimes dwell upon our failures instead of our accomplishments. We consider what we resolved to do but could not complete. We then become frozen in our thinking. Our thoughts become focused on our inability to complete what we started. We must not let that happen. We must break ourselves free from those thoughts. Until we do, we cannot move forward.
As we look to 2010, we will spend time considering resolutions and goals for the new year. We will think about those things that we tried. We will decide to retry some and let others go. How will we decide which to retry and which to let go? In making those decisions, we must pause to consider what we wish to accomplish. What are our goals, our dreams, our aspirations. In deciding what to do, we will inevitably look back. We must, however, not dwell in the past.
