Since both Christmas and New Years fall on a Wednesday I did not post a W.I.N. Wednesday piece on Christmas Day as I know you were spending the day with family and friends or working, as many of you are emergency services personnel.  I will not be posting one on New Years Day as I know you will likely either be recovering from New Years Eve or like me will be watching football all day. 

So, I thought I would post a short one today. As you approach the new year many of you will be making New Year's resolutions. 

I would encourage you to start that process by asking Life's Most Powerful Question - What's Important Now? Follow that with the question "Am I the?"

Am I the son or daughter my parents need me to be and deserve me to be?

Am I the husband or wife my spouse needs me to be and deserves me to be?

Am I the mother or father my children need me to be and deserve me to be?

Am I the leader that the people I have the privilege to lead need me to be and deserve me to be? 

Am I the role model the people who look to me as an example deserve me to be and need me to be?

If you answered no to any of these questions then make the commitment (we are too accustomed to breaking our resolutions by the end of January) to do one small thing each day for the next 90 days to improve in this area. 

At the end of the 90 days re-ask the questions and select a new area where you commit to one small daily improvement for 90 days. 

At this time next year you might be surprised what an amazing year 2014 was for you in all aspects of your life. 

Take care. I wish you all the best personally and professionally in 2014.
