...one way to ensure that the new year doesn't turn out the same as the one that's about to end is this: define the things you're currently tolerating and start now to get rid of them.
Tolerations clutter up your life, and just as you find it hard to work on a cluttered desk, tolerations make it hard for you to move forward.
So begin today to define those things things you've tolerated for a long, long time. Get rid of your mental clutter. Get rid of associations that hold you back. You don't have to do anything unless you wish to do it.
Don't know what you're tolerating?
Ask and you shall receive the answer. Ask yourself: what are the things in my life that I don't need/want? Who are the people in my life right now that I'd rather not associate with? Ask yourself similar questions and write down the answers that come to mind.
Then make up your mind to release those things from your life so you can move on.
Here's wishing you a safe, happy and prosperous New Year!

Just Get Started!
There's a condition that many people suffer from. I call it called 'whenitis'.
It presents with the 'patient' saying things like:
"When I have more time I'll start that project."
"When the kids leave home I'll enrol in that course."
"When I get more money, I'll go on a vacation."
You get the picture: "When ....then..."
This deadly condition is responsible for keeping thousands of people stuck in mediocrity, living lives they hate.
It keeps you from living a full life today.
It's a chronic condition - 'when' never happens.
Here's why: if you look closely at the way those sentences are phrased, you'll see that the underlying (subconscious) thought behind them is a negative one - one that denotes lack in some form or another.
Now, according to the Law of Attraction, you're constantly attracting that which you think about predominantly.
When you suffer from 'when-itis', you're not only ungrateful for the good things in your life right now, you're focusing on the fact that you don't yet have, or aren't yet doing something.
And what you focus on is what you'll get more of.
When-itis is a deadly disease.
The cure for this disease is simple: action!
If there's something you wish to do, get started on it immediately.
You've only got *now*. Don't procrastinate. Do it now. Otherwise you'll forever wonder what your life coulda been like.
Be thankful for the good things in your life right now.
Begin to do more good things, as your heart leads you.
I'll leave you with a quotation that has been widely attributed to Goethe. Dunno who actually said it, but its message sure rings true:
"Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back-- Concerning all acts of initiative (and creation), there is one elementary truth that ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans: that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then Providence moves too. All sorts of things occur to help one that would never otherwise have occurred. A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one's favor all manner of unforeseen incidents and meetings and material assistance, which no man could have dreamed would have come his way. Whatever you can do, or dream you can do, begin it. Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it. Begin it now."
