Make it happen.
It is a good theme for the year and for the years beyond. Personally, I have realized that planning has to translate into good execution no matter how big the task. When a plan is executed...wait, let's back up. In this field, when a plan is simply thought of, the very next step is to make it happen even if you have to re-adjust. We are 1/3 of the way through 2012, and the 1/3 mark on most calendars in the Western Hemisphere means spring, a season for making things happen, has arrived.
During this time of the year, it does matter what you are doing; but making plans or goals happen is refreshing and rewarding. For example, an athlete either prepares for the post-season, the regular season, or is well into the off-season with goals in mind. It is very rare that an athlete begins pre-season training or activity at this point of the year (Major League Lacrosse is one exception). Young athletes pull their parents' coat tails because they want to attend a summer sports camps as this time is prime time for signing up. Recreation athletes, which comprises most of us, gear up for marathons, shorter road races, triathlon season, and general-fitness-nice-weather-workouts (have you looked in the mirror yet and said, "wiggle, wiggle, wiggle, yea!...I workout!" Sorry, that song is funny).
Lastly, "make it happen" serves as the new sign off on these e-newsletters via email and this blog. In 2012, continue to make your goals happen. Graduate to the next level of action, thought, belief, execution, planning, modeling, and leading.
Your April-showers are a sure sign of perseverance.
Make it happen,
Derek
