How was your year 2014?

As another year comes to an end, we all prepare or not for the new year.

To some, it is just another day. For those who made resolutions for the year and stuck with them, congratulations! Now is a good time to reflect and plan for your new year resolution. To those who made resolutions but had long since abandoned them, do not despair. Resolve in this new year, 2015 to do better. Key is make easy goals on a quarterly basis and progressively make subsequent goals a little harder. Achieving goals, even easy ones make you feel good and build your confidence.

When making goals, it is always a good idea to categorize them.

Goal 1; Happiness - Determine what would make you happy. This is a difficult one as happiness is quite subjective though for the majority of people it seems, happiness is being able to spend more time with family and close friends.

Goal 2: Health - What health issues do you have? Is this something you can do it alone without professional help? If yes, be diligent and follow a strict regiment of supplements, diets and exercises. If no, seek a professional you are comfortable working with.

Goal 3: Financial - Define that goal - Saving enough money to put a down payment for a house, co-op or condo? Buying a new car (do you really need a new car?). Saving money for a dream vacation?

Goal 4: New Job or  new career.

Goal 5; Go for higher education

You get the idea.

Each of us are different and our circumstances are different.

If you want to change your life for the better you have to make conscious efforts to make changes. To get to your desired results you have to find the ways to accomplish the right outcome that in the end would make you happy.

After all, isn't happiness a common goal?
