The most important thing about this coming year, is the fact that you have the ability to make decisions. It’s not the circumstances that you are in that make the difference, it’s the choices you make in those circumstances. Here are 11 choices you can make each and every day throughout 2021:
For those trying to improve the quality of their life, the following two lists will help you do just that. We live in a world where many people have a victim mentality and really believe that life happens to them, rather than life being something they can take control of.
With all that is going on around you these days, with COVID impacting everyone in some way, it’s easy to focus on those things that are beyond your control. I want to help you today to focus on what you CAN control.
In a world that is constantly changing, having a growth mindset is essential to success. The COVID Pandemic is leading the way by stifling the growth and progress of many people. Don’t be one of them. If you are not growing, then you are dying – there is no staying the same – and no matter what your situation there are opportunities for growth.

Yes, even in the midst of the COVID-19 Pandemic, the quality of your life is not in your circumstances, it’s not in what you can or cannot do, it’s not a result of how much is in your bank account, or anything else.
The quality of your life is the quality of your thoughts, attitudes, and actions. This is so important to understand because this means that when things all around you are spinning out of control, YOU are still in control of your life.
What goal have you been working towards? Has this current world situation of COVID-19 put things on hold? Has it been hard to get to the results you wanted? Like nearly everyone, you have experienced setbacks, pain, and frustrations.

Do you believe in yourself? Do you have confidence in your abilities? Do you believe you can navigate through this crazy time period?
Maybe you have a dream of something you want to do…or something you want to become, but you are just not sure if you have it in you to pull it off. And in the midst of these crazy and unpredictable days you are questioning yourself now more than ever.
“When everything seems to be going against you, remember that the airplane takes off against the wind, not with it.”
