A different treadmill

July 2, 2012 by Paddy

Are you like me in that every holiday you reflect a little?

You ask yourself questions like – Is this the best job for me? Is my life on track? Am I enjoying myself enough? Am I doing enough for others less fortunate? And the big one….’Do I want to get back on the same treadmill after this holiday?

You might just think that this is a holiday habit and just go back to the same everything. Or… you might consider another treadmill. A different way of working or relating to others.

Instead of having goals, consider values in their place. Goals are things you get or achieve. Values are about how you behave. More is a goal. Honesty, caring, kindness, integrity, industry and mindfulness are values. Choose one and make it your focus Don’t wait for 2013.

Start now. Now is a good time to start everything.
