After an awful 2009, probably the worst year in my life, I've decided to make 2010 a tribute to what an optimist can do to turn things around. Starting out with winning my fantasy football league the first year being in it and a hefty prize to show for it was definitely a great sign of things to come. Soon after I had a great four weeks with work giving me the best January of my career. This allowed me to get almost all the way out of the whole of past due debt and get back on track financially. I continued to drive to start off the year well with a couple of ski days to help break up the cold New England weather as I realized it's easy to forget how important it is to take a break from the ins and outs of your everyday life. I also decided to get rid of friends that weren't helping me grow as a person and strengthen relationships with those that due. We've also found two great couples that live near us and share our same active lifestyle to do things with. It's been a great start to the year and I hope to post to this blog each day and allow all of you to follow my journey to have the best year ever!!
Book of Shawn Insight #1: The biggest thing that seperates those who are successful in life from those that aren't are the risks that people take. The risks you take in your life will define it and when you look back those moments that you took risks will be what you remember. Risks are life changing and alter everything and that is why most people don't take them because they are scared. A natural response is fear and for most fear is too overwhelming to ever do anything and they never make that jump. Remember that great love and great achievements involve great risk.
