I am positive that 2010 is going to be a better year than 2009.

Jim Tunney is a former National Football League official. He was the best in the business – and still is in his current role as a speaker, author and motivator. This article is one that particularly struck me as having special relevance in this difficult time and as we head into the New Year. I encourage you to go to Jim’s web page and review his background and writings. I have the pleasure of knowing him personally and in all respects he stands for excellence and for values and principle.

As we prepare for closure of 2009, it's important to reflect not only what GOOD came our way, but what plans/goals we have for 2010. Far too often we tend to remember the "bad" rather than the "good." Why is that? What is it in our mindset that leads us toward the negative, rather than the positive?

Well, for one thing, the news permeates our daily lives, whether it be television, internet or newspaper; it too often features the bad and the ugly. How can we direct (i.e. control) our thinking towards positive, enlightening opportunities? How 'bout count your blessings!

Sports provides us with an example. The hue and cry of sports fans who have ended a season of disappointment can be heard to say, "Wait'll next year!" That puts a positive spin on a frustrating season, looking ahead for better things to come. Here's a thought to make that a possibility - the word is DETERMINATION.

You can search dictionaries and thesauruses available for definitions; however, what it really comes down to is your firmness of purpose. They tell this story of Miami Head Coach Don Shula, whose Dolphins team lost to the Dallas Cowboys in Super Bowl VI. Coach Shula, disappointed at his team's 24-3 loss, said to his players in the locker room immediately after that game, "Gentleman, we start today preparing for next season." The next (1972) season, Shula's Dolphins never lost a game (17-0)! Then, those Dolphins won Super Bowl VII, followed by winning Super Bowl VIII.

Using a football analogy for singleness of purpose, here's a way to accomplish wait'll next year. The idea revolves around setting a goal, as Coach Shula did. In football, the goal of the offensive team is to score a touchdown. In order to accomplish this, football gives that team 4 downs. If a team uses those downs successfully to gain 10 yards, football rewards them with another 4 downs. In goal-setting terms, we call those short range objectives (SRO).

As you reflect on 2009, did you try to go for a touchdown every time or did you build your successes on SRO? Now is the time to study what you did well this year, analyzing how to build your plan of success. Teams who didn't have a great 2009 season are now dissecting their plan that may have caused failure. Then, they set a plan for success based upon SRO.

Will you reflect on the good you did in 2009?
