A friend of mine has just been diagnosed with breast cancer. I can’t imagine what this must be like for her. Having a breast removed must be similar to a man having a testicle removed or even worse! When I write and talk to clients about their goals for 2010, I wonder how does my friend view 2010 and the uncertainty of what is to come? Will she set goals? Don’t get me wrong goals and actions are important to focus on, to ensure we are living our best lives possible. That we get everything out of life and give everything to this one life we have. But for some there is sometimes a pause in life – no actually for many there is a pause in life where the every day is transcended by a bigger event. What then? It must be very tempting to stop put everything on hold and only manage the crisis. My friend is a survivor, she is and will be a breast cancer survivor and she has barely faultered in her focus in life and continuing to achieve what she wants. She is carefully managing her life for this period of time to ensure she gets through this in the best possible way emotionally, physically, mentally and spiritually. She is an inspiration to us all to keep going, to keep focused, to not give up even when life passes us a dumb by pass in our journey.
So stop it those of you out there who are a bit slippery on those actions and goals for what you want. Get out there do it – there are many that do not have the opportunity or have insurmountable barriers to keep going and go forward. Take the first step and make a decision to set some goals for 2010 that will make you happy!
After all what is life for? If my friend in the face of adversity can keep going then you can too.
Goals ya think?
