Everyday you wake up is a blessing and it's an opportunity to live your best life ever. Moreover, every New Year is an chance to refocus and move closer to success. If you are hunting your dreams then I suggest lighten your load and leave these things behind as you climb to the top!
1. Stragglers
Anyone who doesn't have a definite role or title in your life is a 'straggler'. Your digital rolodex should be sectioned as followed friends, family, or business. Everyone else can kick rocks. If you must keep associates then let them know their place. This also includes folks you may be dating. Don't waste your time, money, or energy on people that aren't on your team.
2. Being a Cheerleader
NOW is the time to activate YOUR dreams. Stop standing on the sidelines and cheering your friends on. It is nice to give advice and offer a helping hand but remember what you want out of your life. So enough, cheering get in the game and win alongside your friends and family.
3. Fear
This is an important emotion because it guides us out of potentially hazardous situations. However, as the old adage goes "too much of anything is never good". In 2011 please give yourself the freedom to do what you want when you want. Go confidently in the direction of your dreams... - Henry David Thoreau
4. Non-Productive Play
They say "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy". This is a simple truth, however if you are a Dream Hunter you might want to forgo getting piss-drunk every Saturday night as your way of relaxing. Go to places where you can network and participate in fun activities that will help you along your way. Ex. If you are a little known designer trying to make it big, make sure you find yourself at runway shows, art opening or parties where you are sure to run into people that can are into art and design. You can still have fun but make it count!
5. Making Excuses
There is just no excuse to use an excuse. Just do your best in every moment and have no regrets if you falter here and there. You don't have to answer to anyone but yourself.
