2. Know your values
What do you value most? Make a list of your top 5 values. Some examples are security, freedom, family, spiritual development, learning. As you set your goals for 2009 - check your goals against your values. If the goal doesn’t align with any of your top five values - you may want to reconsider it or revise it.

There are many ways to lose your sense of self-esteem despite of how trivial it could get. But whatever happens, we should all try not to lose our own sense of self.

So what does it take to be a cut above the rest? Here are some of the things you can think and improve on that should be enough for a week.

1. Know your purpose
Are you wandering through life with little direction - hoping that you’ll find happiness, health and prosperity? Identify your life purpose or mission statement and you will have your own unique compass that will lead you to your true North every time.

Have you come across a person who is so naturally friendly that when you put him inside a room of strangers, he’ll be friends with almost everyone in no time? We call such a people-person, someone unbelievably nice and charismatic that he can charm anyone into doing anything.

I recently returned home from being out-of-town visiting family so I apologize for not posting in a while. I did want to stop and say Happy New Year and wish you and yours the best in this upcoming year.

Remember, many will hope that 2009 is an awesome year, yet few will take the actions to ensure that it is.
