Congratulations on your success. A positive attitude can carry a person far in life.
My goal for the new year has been to become more organized. Since that is such a huge task, I am starting out by trying to simplify as many aspects of my life and schedule as possible. It’s going well so far. Each accomplishment feels like a major victory and gives me the fuel I need to keep going.

Well, it’s been 2010 long enough for a lot to happen! I have done some things well, and some very poorly. I realize that I am not that one thing I did poorly; I am everything that I have ever done! I have always been a positive, joyous person, and remain so! Life IS good!

It’s been alright so far. A pretty quiet start to the year, but in a way, that’s a good thing.

i feel like as long as i remain positive, positive things will happen!

As long as you set yourself targets and a plan outline and stick to it then you can pretty much achieve anything.
Remember to focus.

My “main” goal is to lose fat. Not sure how much as I don’t know how much I weigh now, but when my pants get to size 34 I figure I’ll be good. Currently 44 now. Since the 5th I’ve been doing the diet part of it and things are looser. Starting tomorrow I’ll add some weight training and a little bit of cardio.

I dont think it could get much worse with the country at war in multiple different countries a credit crisis gone out of control and more.

2009 has been a great year so far, I’m losing weight and getting a lot of work done on various projects that I have been putting off.
I could do with a little less snow though.
Good luck in 2009 Dan

I’m having a great start to this new year.
Maybe it is because it is the year of the ox, and I am from the sign of the ox, maybe you too

It’s so true that sometimes the simplest thing to change is your own attitude towards life and one that often is overlooked. Always you choose how you react to situations, it’s always worth remembering you are in control.

Well, 2009 is a challenge. With so muany unpredictable things that might happen in the markets and affect our daily life. But your point is right - we are the way we think. I hope that despite overall situation people woun’t forget it.

2009 is going to be a great year for me.
The secret to setting effective goals is to set small incremental goals that can be achieved in a relatively short space of time.
And yes attitude is everything!

My year is starting off great. I love it. It is prolly one of the best years I have had. I agree with you about the attitude. It is one of the most important factors of determining how happy you are. If you can get in the right mindset, you will be happy all the time.
[Reply]
my new goal this year is to make sure that my blogs get one quality post per day atleast.
I just hope laziness does not crawl into me like it did last year. I want to be up and running because the world is on 9th gear already.

2009 feels a bit like Year Zero in terms of business ideas. It’s actually a really good year to start a business IF you have your own capital. You can start small during the recession and hopefully hit the ground running by the time the economy recovers.
[Reply]
Say Yes to everything, that helps a lot!
[Reply]
2009 will be my lucky year. New car, new job and perhaps a marriage…
[Reply]
2009 is going very well from a personal and professional perspective. Despite all the negativity surrounding the world economy life is great! Thanks for the encouraging post.
[Reply]
Very Cool!

I have found that I have been in a better mood this year (despite the Media) and most of it has come from producing a random act of kindness everyday. It does not need to cost money either. It may be a compliment that I know will help someone get through a day.

Hi Dan:
Been browsing around your site - very interesting. When I got to this post I just had to comment. My New Year’s resolution LAST year was that every day would be either a good day or a great day. With a few notable exceptions, I was able to maintain that attitude and it has made my life so much better. Attitude is everything. Thanks for sharing.
[Reply]
Yes, you are right. good and positive attitude always pays well. i, myself have experinced this.
[Reply]
I have spent the last six months trying to launch an online business. So far I still struggle but I am learning a lot. Best wishes for 2009!
[Reply]
2009 has been a very busy year. I am hoping for better success in the second half.
[Reply]
First half of 2009 was average or below average, but planning some online changes for the last months of this year. Attitude is nice for internet, because if we work, some results are very always close.
[Reply]
Any beginning should be presided by a proper planning and a set of goals to succeed.
[Reply]
Ive had an idea but forgot it before i knew what it was.
[Reply]
hello its me again being random as always
[Reply]
@Djani Your Quote “I realize that I am not that one thing I did poorly; I am everything that I have ever done!” just gave me a big boost of optimism and hope. Thanks!
[Reply]
It’s all in the attitude!
[Reply]
It’s great that you are starting off your year with a positive attitude. I hope you are able to maintain that energy throughout the year, many people lose steam.
