Another year is over, and I am focusing on my goals for 2008. Like everyone,I hope for another successful year, but I have also decided to focus on 5 characteristics which i know will lead me to my goals being achieved.

1)Compassion: By having more Compassion in my everyday life, I believe I will be able to understand and help those "difficult" clients, friends, or family members.

2)Humility: I have a great attitude, but we can always improve and take more pride then we do. There is always room for improvement.

3) Kindness: This goes without saying, showing kindness will show you care for the client and aren't just trying to make a sale.

4) Forgiveness: We all have a bad day sometimes, let's learn to forgive someone if they snap at us.

5) Love:Something we all have for others whether it is family,friends or a neighbor. Love comes on many different levels, and in different forms. Be sure to tell everyone you care for you love them today.

I believe by focusing on these my personal and professional life will dramatically change.

Are you ready to accept the challenge and make the necessary changes to improve your life ?

I have actually started practicing these same characteristics a few months ago. I've noticed I feel better about being myself.

I hope you get that terrific feeling in you too Kojack!

Happy Freakin New Year All
