The Year of No Excuses
First Listed December 27, 2011
2012 is approaching…..it will be here in a couple days…..are you (and I) ready to make this the year of YOU? No excuses?
If you knew you wouldn’t fail, what dreams would you go after in 2012?
This is your life…..no one else is responsible for what you do, how you feel, what you accomplish….it’s up to you…..always has been, always will be.
How do you want the rhythm of your life to flow in 2012?
How willing are you, to make yourself available for YOU?
How much longer will you wait?
I believe…..
I believe you can do it.
I believe I can do it.
I believe you can show up for yourSelf.
I believe your light is ready to shine its brightest.
I believe you can choose to make this year your best year ever.
I believe in you! (and me)
No excuses…..
A new year wish for you:

Yes…. yes yes yes. I believe in me. I believe in you. We can do this. Reminds me of the scene from Forrest Gump where they sit back to back (in combat) so they can each support one another and keep their faces out of the mud.

Ah yes if we want it we have to take it- no excuses. We have what we need inside just need to release it out into the world. Release will be my word of the year.
Thank-you for the reminder to take responsibility for ourselves-= NO excuses indeed!

One has to believe!
Through the holidays I have listened to excuses about diet, about exercise, about why people do things the way they do. Mainly in response to some of my choices which is very interesting to me.
I have chosen to not eat processed food. When people then order their food or choose food from the table that is clearly something we all know is adding to the “weight” problem, excuses fly. I tend to say nothing and do my best to be my own example.
When I get up and go paddle in the Ocean even when it’s “the holidays” and why not lay in bed, people call that hard core. I come back elated! They say they’ll start after the 1st of the year.
Now my challenge is to hear my own excuses. Why am I not writing more. When is my next e-book going to be complete? Things like that.
Mahalo Gina for keeping me aware!

Hola Jt! Ah yes, there are excuses galore and especially around the holidays like you said. What’s most important is to know our own and BE with them. It sounds like you have the awareness of yours.
When we make an excuse, notice it, Be with it, without judging our self and beating our self up for it. Just allow the emotions that show up to be there…and lo and behold, by doing this again and again, the insights will come…..they come from the space of Being, not by Doing (or the thinking mind).
much love to you and your pups!
believe!

I’m great at making excuses! The challenge is to stop believing that they are true. I believe we can all help each other to shine brightly this year!
gina on Tue, 27th Dec 2011 5:27 pm
Yes, we can all help and support each other to shine tremendously bright!
thx for stopping by Loran!

*soft smile* – nice motivational butt-kicking here, Gina!
I’m riding high on a wave crest of energy for all the things I want to do in 2012 right now, so excuses aren’t a problem. Yet. But I’m very good at making them and very good at coming up with reasons why I can’t do something… so this is a good reminder to keep in store for the times when my motivation wanes!

I dig it! A friend of mine had The Year of Lindsay in 2011, and her life went amazing and abundant places! Just watching out for your own energy and taking care of yourself is enough to change things for the better. 2012 is going to be My Year – I can feel it.

I love this Gina! I am so ready for the year to turn. No Excuses for me, my word this year is Power Up! and I fully intend to power up every area of my life.
I have been feeling a shift in the air for a few weeks now. I feel like I am about to turn a corner and things are going to take off!
gina on Sat, 31st Dec 2011 12:40 pm
Tina, I love your word for 2012! Sending lots of wishes that things soar for you in 2012…and all of us! whoohoo!
Jo on Mon, 2nd Jan 2012 3:43 pm
Yes to the year of me. I’ve been feeling that energetically for myself and everyone around me – that 2012 is the year that something gives. I don’t mean give up – perhaps give in, as in give into the energy flow that’s right there for us to tap? Much love to you in 2012 – may it be one of ease!

That’s feels so right Jo….it’s like a type of surrender and acceptance…..to the flow of the energy and trusting where it takes us……much 2012 love to you too!

The year is fast approaching. 2011 is now over, and were glad and thankful that were still alive. We should thank the Lord because we are blessed on this year and the incoming year ahead. Be blessed this 2012.
