Think... Plan... Prosper 2012!
This post was sent to me from a friend. As you read you'll see it's kind of a homework assignment/fun project that will hopefully help you become a better you as we all enter into 2012. I really enjoyed the simplicity of the steps and the reflective questions it asks. So to all my babes... I hope you read, reflect, write, and plan for an even better New YEAR!
Love & Blessings

Question #1. What is the biggest lesson God has offered me over the last year? When we take time to learn the lessons that our trials and triumphs teach us, God is able to mold our character and use us in greater ways. When you ignore the lessons of life, you often find yourself repeating the same mistakes and enduring the same challenges time and time again.
Question #2. What is my "divine assignment" at this stage of my life? Our purpose can transform over a lifetime. In order to remain in synch with God's timing and purposes, we must seek His "assignment" in the various seasons of our lives.
Question #3. This time next year, what would I like to see different in my life? In other words, what's my vision? You need a vision for where you are going in the coming year. No matter how insignificant you think your life is, God wants you to be deliberate about setting goals and moving forward. God's word tells us to "write the vision and make it plain" (Habakkuk 3:2). That means we should write it down and make it clear and specific. Don't overwhelm yourself with a lot of "New Year's resolutions." Instead, choose something meaningful, even if it is a seemingly small change, and take deliberate steps forward.
Question #4. What have I been procrastinating about? Putting off goals and things that God has laid on your heart to do is stressful. Fear is often the culprit and the New Year is a great time to ask yourself if it is time to get unstuck and pursue certain goals or drop them altogether, thus freeing yourself from the burden of an incomplete task hanging over your head.
Question #5. How could I make more of a positive difference in the lives of others in the next 12 months? Our lives really aren't about us. They are about the purpose for which we were created. What is it that you'd like to do by this time next year that will impact others in a meaningful and positive way?
My challenge to you this week:
Be reflective this week and notice what you've learned and what you've accomplished this year. Celebrate your progress.
Journaling assignment:
Answer each of the five questions posed this week. Is there an important shift or change you need to make as a result of the lessons and events of your life in 2011.
Love & Blessings
