In Praise of Stop

 

Isn't it infuriating how you always seem to get all the stop lights when you’re running late.

You know you’d never get to your appointment if we didn’t have them, but that doesn’t do much for

your frustration. You haven’t any option but to stop. Of course, you always seem to get all the green

lights when you’re not in a hurry.

 

The biggest difficulty in the lifestyle management business is convincing people to stop.  

You simply can't plan your lifestyle on the run.  It’s your decision whether to stop and reflect

when you’re free to do so, or wait until there’s no other option because of a breakdown in work,

health, or relationships.

 

Life is, overall, more satisfying when you build in an expectation of regular stop and go signs. 

Immediate goals seem then to be more easily achieved too.

 

Make the season of  Christmas/New Year a time for you to stop, relax and reflect.

 I wish you and the special people in your life a Happy Christmas and a successful 2008
