						<description>&lt;p&gt;Starting off a New Year right, or what I would think is the right way, one would first want to reflect on their past acheivements and failures, and whether or not they met &quot;Plan&quot; -- the goals set for that period of time.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Being honest with ones self plays a major roll here to. &amp;#160;If you aren&#039;t the type to set and write down short-term and long-term goals, or if you&#039;re not the type of person that uses Technology to establish and track activities, it&#039;s really hard to grade what is in ones head. &amp;#160;But, it&#039;s your life and you can do... &amp;#160;Or not do what you want.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;But let me share a saying and one that I refer to as the most powerful two-letter words to live by:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;If It Is To Be, It Is Up To Me!&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Sorry, but I don&#039;t know its author. &amp;#160;Or, for that matter, who or what exposed it to me. &amp;#160;All I know is that it&#039;s easy to remember and comes in real handy when things start to go south. &amp;#160;I know this, because I work with my hands and occationally utilize power tools and I still have all my original body parts. &amp;#160;Moreover, I have never broken a bone in my body. &amp;#160;This is not to say that I haven&#039;t tried to teach a few of my tools and projects how to fly, but as I am about to launch them I pause (most of the time) and consider an alternative action.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;So, what&#039;s it going to be for you in 2012?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;item_footer&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;small&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.mainlinebiz.com/bizBlog/blogs/blog1.php/starting-off-the-new-year&quot;&gt;Original post&lt;/a&gt; blogged on &lt;a href=&quot;http://b2evolution.net/&quot;&gt;b2evolution&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description>
