It’s a new day, a new beginning for your new life. With discipline you will be amazed at how much progress you’ll be able to make. What have you got to lose except the guilt and the fear of the past? – Jim Rohn

Just one quote today as there was no management meeting.

I saw this quote and thought it was particularly appropriate for the beginning of the year.

Two important things to note from this quote:

Each day is a new day, full of opportunities for growth, change and accomplishment. Your job is to seize that opportunity and get after it.

Second, what have you got to lose?

This part gets me every time I have heard the recording of Jim saying this.

If you really think about what you want to change in your life for the better, what have you got to lose?

My guess is that this answer for most of us is “not much” compared to all the good that is possible to come from positive, healthy changes.

As you look at your goals and goal setting for next year, remember these two things: aim high because the opportunities are out there, and let go of the disappointment, guilt and fear of the past and move forward into becoming the best version of you.

Make it a great day.
