Stay in Bounds

My dearest readers,

instead of making this end-of-the-year post a reflective one I’d rather want you to reflect on how you can stay focused and keep your drive alive. During holiday season most of us get a chance to finally wind down, wrap up the year, and make sure there is no unfinished business left before closure in twenty-fifteen. In most cases this is much appreciated and well deserved, but in times like these—if you want to keep things moving—you can get a quick and profitable edge by doing one thing: staying in bounds!

With the year ending and most people either reflecting or relaxing you could do something for the upcoming challenges in twenty-sixteen. Why not prepare a little for what is coming up? Why not move into a position where you can kick off your new year with a blazing firework while the rest is still sleeping? It doesn’t have to be a lot, but it could be enough to give you a quick but profitable edge. After all accomplishments in 2015 you do deserve some reflecting and relaxing, but in all of that do not keep your dreams out of sight, because they are not sleeping or relaxing.

For those of you whose year has not been as promising as expected, don’t be discouraged. Recall that in order to shine you first have to polish. Your year may have been a working year, you polishing the heart out of your life and yourself; but know that if you continue to polish your time to shine will come soon enough. Check local listings! And note that it is those working years that make the pleasant years happen.

For those of you who could deliver whatever the job required, make sure you stay on it, for great things are expected of you in the future. Everyone’s watching, and everybody’s waiting for you to make a move; therefore stay disciplined and disappoint neither your beholders nor yourself. Remember that it’s a great accomplishment to get to the top, but way harder to stay there. Delivering can be both a blessing and a burden, but in any particular way it is a resource of inspiration and a great challenge to keep it moving. Challenge accepted? Well, that’s your call!

...and with the year ending and the holidays coming up—as concluding words—I just want to say “Thank You!” for reading this year’s #MomentumToGo as well as all of your thoughts and comments throughout the year. It has been, as in all previous years, nothing but a pleasure to write for a constantly increasing audience; in that sense all I have left to say is the following: just stay in bounds… and keep the drive alive!

Expect 2016 to ask for your undivided attention, because the new year holds these truths to be sacred and undeniable: “People who lack the clarity, courage, or determination to follow their own dreams will often find ways to discourage yours. Love your truths and don’t EVER stop!” (Steve Maraboli)—stay in bounds, never stop dreaming, and go further! #M2G
