One of my recent resolutions is to take this blog seriously. It's time to commit. Time to put my thoughts to pen and share morsels of intelligence with whoever cares to hear them.

Since I have no followers, this is optimistic.
But, daring I am.

And now that my commitment has, well, been committed to paper, it's official. I'm hear to stay and play.

As a student of NLP I understand the value of writing things down, especially goals. If you map out the goal in your mind and on paper, odds improve that you'll attain it. I've found it works best if you begin with the end in mind. That puts you in a position of strength since your thoughts focus on how it looks and feels once you've already achieved your goal. Why focus on the need to lose 10 pounds when your attention can be simply redirected to highlight how great you look and feel 10 pounds lighter? That's where you want to be... in the winners' circle.

Take the time to visualize what it will look like, what you will see and hear, and importantly, how you will absolutely know you've achieved your goal. What will you gain by achieving it? What will you need to give up in order to get there?

Once you have written it down using as much sensory-based language as you can, walk away. Know your subconscious has received the "tweet" and is on it, creating opportunities for you.

So there you have it. The first blog of 2011. This just in...but more to come. That's the goal.
