The end of the year has always been a good time to reflect. A time to look back on the past year but also to look forward to the New Year and years to come. A new year means new opportunities, a new chance to make changes and work on various aspects of your life that you feel could use some improvement.

Of course there are the standard new year's resolutions: stop smoking, drink less, eat healthier, make more money, spend less, save more, invest wiser, be nicer, spend more...

In 1953, a study on the effectiveness of goals was done with students at Yale University in Connecticut. Only 3% of the graduating class reported that they had specific written goals.

When these same class members were surveyed twenty years later, it was discovered that the 3% group with written goals had financial income exceeding the total of the remaining 97%.

A goal is a dream with a deadline. If it is not written down, it is just a wish. We need to have desire and...

In my last article regarding goal setting, I outlined some keys for accountability.  This is an important element of your success for many reasons, answering to someone else is an area that is comfortable for many.  Another reason that you may need to have someone push or monitor you is because of your fear of success.

Human motivation is a response that our body has to some form of either internal or external stimulation.

In simple terms, it means that our body is responding to stimulation. An example is that we are motivated to eat something because we are hungry. We are directing a behavior to a particular goal. Humans need to be motivated to do just about anything in life. That is why it is so Important to set goals.

This started as an article to address women and feelings of isolation, but as I spent time with the topic, I kept coming back to the words "connect" and "connection." Connecting, I thought, is the opposite of isolation, and if it's the opposite, then surely it's also the solution. One study I read suggested that the opposite of isolation is belonging -- that to no longer feel isolated, one must feel a sense of belonging. I don't think it's that complicated, that deep...

I have heard many stories from people who were glad a certain year finally ended as they were'tested' to the max during the preceding year. The year could have begun in January, or on another significant date, such as a birthday. It does not matter. The point is, when a new year begins for us, we all step back and review. Oftentimes, we conclude that the year was a waste and we wish things were different.

I myself have not been immune to the challenges sent by the...
