Good bye 2007 - Welcome 2008

Time for some small reflections of the past year and also time to look forward to the coming year.

2007 was in many ways my best year ever. Even if it started to be the worst year ever since my father past away in November 2006 and from November to March i was in some kind of koma as far as I remember. He was in many ways my leading coach. I cant even remember how I managed to deal with my children and my section manager work just in the way I did it at that time. It is kind of fascinating to me now when I close the past year.

You just realize that life goes on and you just have to survive and take care of things. That is the only truth and in some ways it was nice to be aware of that during the sad times and also see how you manage to deal with it.

I made up my mind and continued the rest of the year with a marvellous energy to succeed with the things i choosed to deal with. My family and my work.

Some challenges and uplifting activities on the way, but I guess that it is the lovely spice you should be happy about. I love the comment,,, " dont cry because its over, smile because it happened" . Yes I truly do and I am also greatful to all experiences I have got during the year, sad and lovely ones in a great combination. I have packed them all in a golden box never to be underestimated as the best gifts from life itself.

Back to the future. I have promised myself to make this coming year to the best year ever. How can I make that happen? Is it possible to beat 2007 years great experiences?

I truly think so and that is my goal.

I just have to start with the end in mind and make my own personal year statement already now and by doing that I will be even more strategic and specific in the choices I make to fulfill and make things happen.

And my leading star is that what I choose, I choose because I want to.

It is so exiting to make your own plan, plan for the actions and activites to be followed up on and also measure yourself in progress.

I have suprised myself this time and I guess that many people will be surprised as well.

We all deserve energy to make things happen. I feel like a lucky bastard at the moment, that has a full year trip ahead, I just have entered the train and am ready to go for the trip of my life. Happy New Year.
