Is Summer So Bad? It’s Perfect!

So it’s July. A hundred degrees by breakfast. We start to consider moving to a research station at the South Pole. The heat becomes a droning monotony.

So let me ask you: how have you done with all your 2010 New Year’s Resolutions? Not making much progress right now, are you? Using the heat as an excuse? If you wait until it’s cooler, you’ll find more excuses. It’ll be autumn and you’ll be too busy. Or there won’t be enough time left in the year, so why not wait till January to start over?

This is the perfect time to START! Start establishing new habits, start working toward your goals, start being pro-active. You’ve got nothing better to do anyway, right? As Henry Ford reportedly said, you can’t build a reputation based on what you’re going to do. That means you actually have to do something. What are you really waiting for?

How does it feel when you look back over the last six months and see how far you are from where you wanted to be right now? Do you really want to keep feeling like that, year after year? There will always be another “next year.” There won’t be another “now.”
