But in order to focus forward and stick to simple, you need to know what has complicated your days.

What has been a thorn in your side this past year?

• Time
• Schedule
• Money
• Marriage
• Children
• Job

These thorns have ultimately been your excuses. For me, it was boxes and a new home with the move. By acknowledging these excuses, you remove the sting and extinguish their power to paralyze your forward progress.

Stick to simple!

So now that you know your thorns on a first-name basis, you can pair them up with the simple to ten times your results.

The K.I.S.S. ~ Stick to simple!

If you are having a problem with time, then go buy more time at your favorite box store. Just kidding! But not really.

You control your schedule. Schedule your non-negotiables so you can elevate your life. When you give back to yourself, you have more to give to others.

If you are having a problem with money, then figure out specifically where the problem exists. Don’t lump it all together. Find the gap and figure how you can reallocate funds or change the way you approach what you need to accomplish.

Stick to simple!

Unfortunately, almost half of those who set New Year’s resolutions will quit come February.

But that doesn’t have to be you!

Stick to simple!

Simple intentions that keep you focused forward like a warrior. A warrior which plans her attack prior to going into battle.

Maybe your marriage or children complicate your days. You have to give more to them than you have time in your day because sleep is important too.

I promise if you want it bad enough, you will find a way. 

Stick to the simple!

Get up 30 minutes early to write or workout. Put the children to bed 30 minutes early. Look hard enough, you can figure it out.

Now if it’s your job, it might be a little more challenging. But look exactly where the hang up is. Don’t stutter when you can smooth out your schedule to fit your job or vice versa. 

Stick to simple!

“Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.” ~ Confucius

So don’t bend your goals because you are expected to. Expect the unexpected for yourself this New Year. Create your now!

May your presence be your purpose.

“Stick to simple!”
