Well it’s that time of the year to wish you all a fantastic Christmas and a Happy New Year.
What a complete blast 2017 was. There was so much going on, it was difficult to know where to focus! Brexit, Trump, advancements in technology, medicine and environmentally friendly fuels. So much has happened in such a short space of time.
Next year will also do something similar, but more than..
I have seen people make amazing choices, take risks and succeed in their aim to have something different. Leaving the certainty of employment, to follow a dream of being their own boss, is not something people do lightly, but if it’s well planned and executed, success follows. (Well done James, I take my hat off to you!)
It takes effort to make life go to plan, but, even with meticulous planning, there is always the fastball that someone or something decides to throw at you to disrupt any chance of perfection. It makes life what it is – interesting!
I was coaching a person last week and he had just been told by one of his employees that they had 6 months to live. This blew him out of the water and made him very reflective about his own life. Things are not perfect, the job is challenging and changing, and, at 46, he would like things to be more enjoyable – life is too short!
The energy that we can put into the rest of our lives can be so exciting, if only we take the time and bother to do it. It’s too easy to give up on dreams, it’s easy to sit down, watch TV and not bother to take action. There is always a box-set available if you want to waste a few hours or even days of your life.

Series 20 episode 17 is just about over and I am going to write, direct and produce my own 2018 – how about you? Next year will happen anyway so we might as well have some things to aim for and achieve to make it a better year for us.
We are amazing human beings, we can achieve amazing things, but it does take effort, risk, failure and a whole load of support.

I am sure they didn’t get things perfect every time and I can imagine there were quite a few ‘near misses’ but these people were determined to do something amazing with their lives. (Please do NOT try this at home!)
What one amazing thing do you want to achieve next year? What would give you a new lease of life, more energy, excitement and joy?
It’s worth planning, time goes fast!
Happy Christmas 2017 – here comes 2018, I can’t wait.
