Well 2014 is rolling along so quickly, already it is 15 Feb - how are your plans coming along for the year. It has been said that if you fail to plan then plan to fail. I believe it is all about having a goal, a wish list or something you really want to achieve and taking steps towards achieving it. eg if you wish to go for an island holiday, firstly when do you want to go? how long will you stay? who do you want to take along with you? how much $$ do you need to make it happen. ok once you have all the info then set your date to travel, and work out backwards how much $ each week you will have to put aside for your holiday. It might surprise you to realise with cutting out a few coffees, takeaways and wines (for instance) that you can easily meet the weekly amount you need. Its important to make the commitment and book your seat. You can always push out the date (not too far though as it will seem like its never going to happen) and then each week think of the holiday you are going to enjoy each time you are tempted to buy that treat, have another takeout coffee etc It really helps to have the "carrot/holiday" in mind as you grow your holiday funds. When its all done and you are jetting your way to your paradise setting take the time to congratulate yourself for your success (that YOU made possible) and realise that really you can do anything if you put your mind to it. How empowering is that!! So what are you waiting for - -------------------------------:)
now what to do while you are lying on the beach soaking up the sun, surf and atmosphere --- after a few days of cocktails and R&R --------maybe you could think of some new goals or even write a bucket/wish list, things you'd like to achieve in this life that would help you to feel even more fulfilled, to feel you have contributed to this world in your own special way. Your choice as now you know anything is possible :) ENJOY xx
