How are you starting your year? How are you starting your month? How are you starting your week? How are you starting your day? I feel like you should start anything new with 100% energy invested into making you great and keeping you positive. If you feel positive about whatever you are getting into then you will reach that goal that you set for yourself. Reflection on your past is always good but the reminder you have to set for yourself is, to be better and do better than what you previously did. I always see people reflect on the previous period and do nothing to improve their situation. It takes discipline, focus and the removal of distractions. 

Discipline, focus and removal of distractions is really hard for a lot of people. It takes time and patience to get to where you need to be but achieving these couple things could help you get there faster. You have to ask yourself, “What is preventing me from achieving the goals that I have set for myself?” Things may not be as obvious as you want them to be but you have to open your eyes to things that are in front of you. It may always be the things in front of you causing you to lose sight of some of the goals you set for yourself. 

If you want better for yourself, do better. Set reachable goals and execute them. Not everyone around you will support your drive but pay attention to the ones that do. They will push you and want the best for you. The only people that want you around are the ones who want to see your true greatness because they are going for their own as well. Start different and push yourself to greatness.
