1 A YEAR FROM NOW YOU WILL WISH YOU HAD STARTED TODAY. -karen lamb

2 Resolutions, goals, pursuits, dreams... Whatever you call them, new year s resolutions are often made and then quickly broken. Why not spend some time reflecting on what you REALLY need and want to accomplish this year? Use these goal-setting questions however you like. There s no right or wrong way to use this... Simply reflect, brainstorm, and discover what you re dreaming. If you want to dig deeper, you d probably enjoy my ten-session, self-paced class, Upstream Field Guide. Head to upstreamfieldguide.com to learn more and join thousands of Upstreamers to, step-by-step, find your life s core purpose and then order your life in a way that s unmistakably you. And if you d love more accountability in your life for (finally) checking off tasks once and for all, seeing goals actually happen, and making friends with likeminded life dreamers, look for my s in early 2017, because I m announcing something new! I think you ll love it. Cheers, Tsh Oxenreider
