Reflect Realign Refresh - Let Go And Move Forward

No matter how long the flight, an airliner is only on track twice during the entire journey. Once before it pushes back from the departure gate and then again as it comes to a stop at the arrival gate of it's destination. The rest of the journey is filled with tweaks and adjustments that bring it back on course when atmospheric conditions or air traffic control directed changes are made to the original flight plan given to the pilot before they got on the plane.

That's a lot like our year really. We start with an end goal in mind and things do not always go as we planned. We too, like the airliner, need to make changes along the way to compensate for what's going on around us. In the end though, we arrive at the end of another year.

Speaking to many people over the past few weeks, I find that some people are happy with where they have arrived, others not so much. Some have endured a lot more turbulance than others and some have had sometimes unrealistic air traffic controllers changing their flight plan many times. Either way, the best way to finish strong in 2017, and create a smoother flight in 2108, is to go through a process with me that will put you back in control.

It saddens me to hear that more people give up on themselves and call it quits at this time of year than any other time. One of the main reasons is they look at where they have arrived at the end of the year and compare it to where they were last year. Their little voice convinces them that nothing will ever change and that they are not capable of making things happen. I have even heard dads say things like "They would be better off without me so I'm leaving". No dad, they won't be better off and neither will you so I want to work with you to help you see things in a different light.

So let's walk through this 3 step process together.
