CHANGE IS IN THE AIR

Beautiful autumn! Mother Nature’s handy work can be seen in the glorious colours, felt in the crispness in the night air and
the scurrying of the squirrels as they frantically gather food. What a wonderful time for you to reflect upon the changes
you need to make in your life. What were the goals you set for yourself back in January? You know, all those resolutions
you put on yourself to make this the year you made changes! How is that going for you so far?

If you are like a lot of folks, you got caught in the trap of allowing yourself to get detoured away from your path. Some
detours were great as they showed you wonderful places and you meet amazing people that you might not have otherwise.
However, too often you may have found yourself lost and confused on which way to go, which unfortunately usually means
you got stuck.

That is why taking a cue from Mother Nature to use the changing seasons is important. This is a time to objectively reflect
on the past in order to observe how it has brought you to where you are today. By doing so you will be able to prepare for
the future and that usually means getting yourself back on track to meet your goals. Don’t get discouraged! Be in this
moment, decide what direction you should go next and allow yourself to get back on track. Reset your goal and go for it!
