Believe. As we approach Christmas it is apparent that Santa is alive and well.

This is one of those beliefs we have that help us to enjoy the season and particularly our children and our grandchildren.

Beliefs are critical to each of us as they help to form a strong foundation for us to move ahead in our lives and know that we can make a difference and make things happen.

Over the next few weeks to Christmas give some thought to your belief system and how you can leverage this process you have to really make a huge difference to yourself and to your community in 2014.

Create a plan for yourself — working from a plan gives you more self awareness and you will act!

“Do continue to believe that with your feeling and your work you are taking part in the greatest; the more strongly you cultivate this belief, the more will reality and the world go forth from it.” - Rainer Maria Rilke
