New Year’s Resolution time

I borrowed this from Susie Bright’s blog. It is an interesting take on the usual New Year’s resolution process… Give it a try.
Go get a piece of paper and pen. Or open up a separate blank page you can type in on your computer.
I'm going to ask you three questions.
Don't think about them too much, just go with your gut.

1. Name a goal you have— any goal for the future, be it near or far, small or large, heavy or light. Whatever means the most to you at the moment.
2. Imagine yourself right after having accomplished this goal, in the minutes or hours after you've DONE it. You're on the other side. It's the day after, it's behind you.
Write down how you would FEEL. A few words, one word, a phrase or two.
3. Write down the date you'd like to see this goal accomplished. Could be a day, weeks, months, years. Your ideal time to see it happen.

Okay, have you answered the questions… well, take your time.

Are you done yet? Okay… here is the trick to it that will turn your perspective around, according to Susie…

Here's the trick that reveals more to your answers than you initially thought:

Your second answer is your real goal.
The quality of life you'd like to experience, that's the real ticket. Your first answer is just one pebble along the way.
The question then becomes, why not feel "Number 2" right now? Why wait to start that experience?
When you look at your answer to Number 3, it give you an impression of how long you think you have to wait before you get to feel the way you describe in #2.

I told you it was interesting...
