162. 83 days til the end of the year

Doesn’t sound like much when you put it that way, does it?

It’s just under twelve weeks and a little bit over two and a half months. Somehow, putting it as days left in the year gives a sense of urgency.

So far this year, I’ve changed and grown a bit more than previous years. I feel like I’ve stalled a little bit in these last few months, but I’m not letting it overwhelm me like it has in previous years.

I’ll be honest with you: you shouldn’t hope to achieve anything too groundbreaking towards the end of this year.

Good things take time. Often, they are slow at the beginning. Nothing seems to happen when you’re watching it like a hawk.

The moment you forget about it — BAM! There’s growth, people reach out to you and you’re thankful that you hung in there when you doubted yourself.

If you want to start 2017 with a bang, do this:

Use the remaining 83 days of the year to lay a foundation that can give you momentum when you start the year. Starting on goals from January 1 doesn’t seem to work that well.

If you start now, it’s like you’re already running when the gun goes off. You have the all-important fast start.

You just have to maintain it until the end of the race.
