As we seek to prepare for the dawning of Vision 2010, many resolve to create resolutions and to see these resolutions throughout the year. I am one to also admit that I also have begun my "TO DO LIST" for 2010 but my desire is to begin and end successfully. I read a very beneficial article today courtesy Real Simple Magazine (Jan 2010 issue). It highlights the nine secrets of highly motivated people. I have done the honors of posting the abridged version.

9 Secrets of Highly Motivated People

1. When you make plans, anticipate bumps
2. Channel the little engine that could
3. Don't let your goals run wild, but work on then every day
4. Go public with it
5. Lean on a support crew when you're struggling or need motivation
6. Make yourself a priority
7. Challenge yourself and change things up
8. Keep on Learning
9. Remember the deeper meaning and the real reason you begun your quest.

Remember ALL Goals must be S.M.A.R.T.
S- Specific
M- Measurable
A- Attainable
R- Realistic
T- Time-bound
