As am I am looking forward to 2012, there is one thing that keeps sticking in my head.

In his talk about the seasons of life, Jim Rohn says “we only get a handful of springs, so take advantage of them.”

I know that January 1 is far from the beginning of spring, but it is the beginning of a new year. A fresh calendar and the opportunity to set bigger, better goals and move in a positive direction.

His reminder that we only have a “handful” of opportunities is a reminder that we must seize the day. We must act and take advantages of today’s opportunities today.

So, as you look forward to 2012, remember that you only have a handful of them.
