Time to review & set new goals

As the year comes to an end, let's take a while and sit for a review. I am not talking about the monthly/ quarterly/ annual review at work. I'm sure our organizations have done that or are in the process. I am talking about reviewing ourselves, holistically. Like any other review exercise let's sit down and check how far have we reached. Those of us who had set holistic goals earlier can review the progress easily, check for deviations and take corrective actions; but those who did'nt, need to ask a few basic questions in relation to personal and professional lives-

1. Am I happy doing what I am doing?

2. Have I reached where I wanted to reach by this time?
3. Am I on the right track?
4. Have I done things that I should have done?
5. Have I done things that I should not have done?

The answers are self explanatory and shall give us an insight into the growth trajectory of life. Next, we need to set goals for the coming year- goals for life to be achieved over the coming year. So let's take a break and ask ourselves the above mentioned questions and set new goals in relation to our:

• Health
• Relationships
• Work
• Self help, Self love
• Attitude towards oneself, others & events in life
• Selfless service

And now a few resolutions:

• We'll not carry whatever we do not need to carry (baggages of grudges and negativity).
• We'll take a few steps backwards if they can take us farther in the journey of life.
• We'll not make unjust comparisons.
• We'll give ourselves and our loved ones time and effort.
• We'll leave no stone unturned to make our lives better and happier.

Let's be full of energy to welcome the new year and hold the same energy levels throughout the year. Let the new year take us to heights of wholesome achievements and happiness.

Wishing all of you a Merry Christmas & a Lovely New Year! May His grace fill our lives with everlasting hope and happiness.
