Top 5 Ways to Start the Year Off Right
Do a yearly review
Ask yourself:
- What went well for me last year?
- What accomplishments did I have?
- How did I improve my life?
- How did I improve my relationships?
- What did I remove from my life that is now making me happier?
- What do I wish I had taken more time for?
Write your responses in a journal that you can refer back to in the future. Use these types of questions for areas like home, family, relationships, financial and career.

Key Ideas
Fear of criticism
Many people are afraid to live their dreams for fear of what others may think and say about them.
Making decisions based on what people think will debilitate you for the rest of your life.
Fear of poverty
Many people are stuck in “survival mode.” Too many people settle for mediocrity because they think they must “survive” instead of “thrive.”
Never let the fear of poverty hold you back from your dreams.
Fear of old age (and death)
Benjamin Franklin once said, "Most people die at 25 and are buried at 75." This metaphorical death comes when people figure they can't make it happen, so they end up quitting in advance.
Fear of old age can also be harmful when a person has to go through a major career transition. In the end, age is far less important than your belief in yourself.
