Dominate in 2016

   Well you survived this year and get yet another chance to become a better version of yourself. Did you really get out there and live this year or did you just simply exist. Getting caught in the mundane cycle of life and having little to show for it. I recently overheard a gentleman say: "That another year down is just that much closer to the grave." My rebuttal to him was: "everyday above ground is a good day." In this message I want to examine how you see yourself in the year ahead.
  
   Is the glass half empty? Are you pessimistic about what these next 365 days will bring or think it's going to be a repeat of last year. Does the thought of resolutions or goal setting discourage you from facing the new year? You shouldn't be fearful or anxious when the ball drops at midnight in Times Square. If that is the case then you need to examine why and take steps to create a more compelling future.
  
   Is the glass half full? Are you optimistic and want to start the new year mach two with your hair on fire. Do you look at the coming year as an opportunity to be better and enhance your life. This perception of the future gives one the ability to design how their lives will play out and to adapt faster when unexpected circumstances arise. People who choose positive outlooks and good attitudes have everything to gain and nothing to lose.

   In conclusion, nothing is gained by negative or pessimistic thoughts about the coming year. Choose to embrace the "glass is half full" mentality towards your future. The year 2016 is yours for the taking, so get out there and DOMINATE!
