Reflect and recharge. We are in the time of year when so many people take a vacation to enjoy time with their families and to get a rest and a change. This time allows one to take a step back, get some well-needed rest and a major change in the normal routines.

Whatever you have planned or have already completed ensure you take some time for yourself to take an objective look at your current situation, what you know you would like to improve, and develop some new focus on the months and year ahead. Re-assessing where you are with a level of objectivity you do not normally have can provide the necessary incentive to plan better things in your future. Return from these breaks with a renewed sense of enthusiasm and energy to make great things happen.

“If we were logical, the future would be bleak indeed. But we are more than logical. We are human beings, and we have faith, and we have hope, and we can work.” - Jacques Cousteau
