MY THURSDAY THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK – So – your 2020 is all planned, scheduled and your goals are set and ready to rock . . . I believe in all of these activities and spend routine time every week, month and year considering them. However – have you ever had a routine fall apart?  Ever not achieved a goal? Ever not finished a project that was well planned? And why do any of these unplanned outcomes happen – because something you couldn’t control showed up! In 2020 if you are a control freak you will spend a lot of time in anxiety, frustration and disappointment. If you don’t try to plan anything or set goals you will end up with the same negative outcomes.  So, what’s the answer to a successful and peaceful stress-free 2020? Plan, schedule and set the goals but don’t get attached to them. Don’t assume it will all end up as planned or hoped. Have a plan B and even a plan C – just in case. Accept the simple fact that there is very little in life that you can control and that the how’s, when’s, where’s or who’s that impact your life, career or business can happen in an instant. One of my mantra’s for many years has been – “I will get excited if it happens but I won’t be disappointed if it doesn’t.”  Try it – it works. Have a great 2020.
