Have you done a review of your last year as we enter 2014? I recently did and found it illuminating.
I found that there were several areas of my life where I had been operating on somewhat inaccurate assumptions. That’s easy to do, especially if you have beliefs and desires that you don’t want to let go of. But, just as in the world of business where you keep books and can make a physical real-world accounting of what went well and what wasn’t so good (just do the math), it’s helpful to take the time to do this in any aspect of our lives we’re wanting to focus on.
For Paul and me a lot of our end of the year reviewing has, however, centered on business. As 2013 was winding down I was vaguely aware that it seemed like my Mama Love Flower Essence Aromatherapy business had slightly improved. But when I did the math I was in for a big surprise—total sales had tripled! I wasn’t aware of this level of increase because it didn’t make an obvious impact on my day-to day life but this past month I realized I had enough surplus in my business account to think about what, if anything, I might want to do with it. At least a third of those sales came from a new set of products I added halfway though last year (scented and unscented flower essence sprays) so my New Year’s resolution in regards to my business was obvious and exciting. I can do some R&D into another set of products I’d like to add soon. (Sorry, I‘m not ready to announce that yet.) This is a big improvement over past New Year’s resolutions, by the way! Typically, I’d be looking at what went badly and how can I do better? (You know, get more exercise, eat more vegetables.) This is perhaps the very first time in my life where I thought: what went well that I’d like to do more?
So, there’s a New Year’s thought for all of us. What spiritual, emotional, or physical positives from this past year would you like to build on? Take to the next level? Enjoy even more?
May that lead to the most abundant year of blessings for us all.
Sheryl
Happy New Year from me, too!
