Well the clock has hit midnight, the ball has dropped, and the champagne has been poured. It’s the New Year. It’s 2007!

We’ve made new decisions, we’ve dreamed up new images, we’ve made new promises to ourselves and to God for this year. New Years Resolutions! We all make them every year, but where do they stand today?

Like myself, you have maybe promised yourself you would go to the gym more often and lose that last 15 pounds, or maybe that you would spend more time with your family or focus more on time management. Whatever the resolutions were, do you find yourself not accomplishing any of them or even starting them by January 31, 2007. Do you feel like giving up? Like many of us it’s easy to fall into this cycle every year.

THE CYCLE STOPS TODAY!!

I want to encourage you that this can be the best year of your life. And I’m not just saying that as a simple cliché! You can be different from what you were in the past. This can be the year that you put your best foot forward and accomplish your goals.

This can be the year that you rise above every obstacle and become the champion you really are. Think of this as the year that you win. The year where you Play Your “A” Game everyday in everyway!

Choose to make the word FOCUS a valuable word to have in your vocabulary. Focus allows you to commit to going to the gym and eating better. It allows you to commit to spending more time with your family and it allows you to concentrate more on your time management skills. Focus will allow you to continue to Play Your “A” Game even long after the year is over.

Here are 7 plays to help you play and maintain you’re ‘A’ game all year long.

- Identify and set your specific goal for the new year.

- Decide today that you will do what ever it takes to reach your desired end.

- Locate someone (the expert) who has or who’s doing what you desire to achieve.

- Detail and write down your specific plan.

- Submit to five people (better than you) and become accountable.

- Do everything it takes to be the best and reach your goal.

- Make the above 6 plays your new way of life.

What causes one person to succeed for a small period of time and for another to play his ‘A’ Game all year long? It’s the man that conditions for the game, the man that plays hard in the game, and the man that doesn’t quit during the game.
