2012: The Year YOU Are At YOUR best

This is it. My last post of 2011. It's been a great year. I've matured in so many ways. I've also kept my blog alive all year long, improving along the way, which was one of my 2011 resolutions. I want to thank everyone who has read my posts and given me feedback. You are the reason I keep writing my entries.

For great inspiration from 2011, search #2011highs on twitter and read the great things people did in this great year.

But enough of the past. One can't stop when he has attained a goal, the journey must continue. What will be 2012 for you? Do you see a great year ahead? Do you see changes? Or do you see the same old routine again?

I'm not going to tell you what would be a great resolution for you, you must find that yourself. Loosing weight, stop smoking, eating healthier... these are our society's resolution. Dig deeper and find your own.

One piece of advice. I've mentioned this quote in one of my very first blog entries. It's an advice I got from Neil Strauss a long way back and it stuck in my mind like Wile E. Coyote sticks to an Acme Corporation giant magnet.

"It's not enough to just be yourself, you must be your best self." - Neil Strauss
If you apply the best self principle to everything you do, great things are going to happen in 2012 no matter what your objectives are.

I wish you all a great year.

Steve Jobs' 2005 Stanford University Commencement Address

Great speech by a great man.

Steve Jobs goes through 3 of the most marking experiences of his life. There are many great advices to learn from his words.

Connecting the dots. You can't connect the dots going forward but only backward which means you need to have trust in what you do, in your heart and intuitions.

Microsoft just always copies Apple.

Ask yourself if this was my last day on earth would I want to do what I'm doing today and if the answer is no for multiple days then it's time to re-align your life.

And many wise words can be found in this short message.

A Friendly Reminder

Good day,

2011 is coming to an end. December, people start getting ready for Christmas while others are ready and waiting impatiently to give the outdated gifts they bought months ago. December for some is the only month they cook well prepared meals and desert, to redeem them selves or to impress relatives. December is a very busy month for many reasons we all know too well.

My reminder to you is that December is the last chance you'll ever get to fulfill your 2011 resolutions. Admit it that you did not maintained or accomplish them. If you did, I think you've set the bar a little to low. Finish the year on a high note, complete all those resolutions and get ready for 2012. Yearly resolutions are not made to be transferable from one year to the next, or else they'd be called life resolutions.

Unfortunately, this does not seems to be the case. Each January, gym subscriptions skyrocket. Abs King Pro, Roller, Disintegrator 3000 or what ever they are called fly off the shelves. Get over with it now and set new objectives for next year. Realistic and measurable one.

30 days left to make 2011 worth while if you haven't done it yet. We'll talk again in a month when it's time to set new ones for 2012.
