Summary: Watch my latest episode of Todd Duncan TV and learn how to be intentional about the coming year by reflecting on your past and making decisions that will maximize your joy in 2019 and beyond. --- The end of the year is the best time to contemplate the previous year to finish strong, and to plan for the upcoming year. It doesn’t matter how you start. It’s how you finish. The Law of the Summit states “Your direction is a result of your perception.” — Where is your joy factor right now? We need to maximize and optimize our joy. Joy is a feeling of comfort and serenity. Joy is being content with where you’re at, but knowing the future is bright. — Where do you find your joy? We have to be intentional in what we do and with whom we do it. Joy has a lot to do with aligning what we do with what we’re good at. — Make decisions that allow you to be in your lane. When we’re intentional about how we live we experience more joy. When we’re intentional about who we surround ourselves with we experience more joy. Life is too short to do business with people you don’t like. If you don’t enjoy doing business with someone, you won’t experience joy in doing business with them. — Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. Where’s your insanity? It’s important as your head into next year that you be intentional about not doing the wrong things well. — Be the change you need to be. One change can change everything. The opposite of insanity is being intentional. Nothing changes until something changes. — When you look back on this past year, make a list of what has caused insanity in your life and decide that by this time next year, you will have made a change. What are the things in your life that you need to undo? Create your not-to-do list and attack it! — Where will you be in one year? The end of the year is a great time to contemplate vision. Write down your ten highlights of the year. Highlights produce joy, and they create confirmation and affirmation of what you be doing more of. What are your hopes for next year? Highlights are the reel from the past. Hopes are the catalyst for the future. — The question is as you head into January is knowing where you want to be at the end of the year and being able to control how you get there. When you know where you want to go, you can strategically focus on how you’re going to get there throughout the year. — When you’re honest with yourself, and you answer the questions mentioned above, the coming year becomes your canvas for creating the life you want. --- Sign up for a FREE High Trust Coaching consultation: http://hightrustcoaching.com/ Attend Todd Duncan Events: http://hightrust.com/about-us/live-events/ Sign up for Todd's Newsletter: http://toddduncan.com/subscribe --- Connect with Todd on Social Media: Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/ToddDuncanOfficial/ Twitter - http://twitter.com/toddstweets Instagram - http://instagram.com/toddduncanofficial Linkedin - https://www.linkedin.com/in/toddduncanoffical
