We can't change a lot of things in our lives, but we can change where the Focus is.

Getting Focused

Let's look at the difference between our Wants and our Needs. Let's say: A Want it is generally something general - (Ok, not always, but just try this) A Need is more specific. ( yes, yes, - just stay with me. It does Work)

Looking At What is Important

What do You think is the most Important Need about "A Dinner Out"?

  • Someone Else Cooked it
  • Relaxed Atmosphere
  • No Clean Up Afterwards
  • A Different Set of Walls

What do You think is the most Important Need about "Some Peace and Quite in My Life"?

  • Feeling Free of Worries
  • Getting Away from Everyone Else’s demands
  • Getting Away from My Own demands on Me
  • Finding My Center again

As you can see, the Real Need makes a Real difference!

Think about what is Your Real Need.

What are Your Needs?

It doesn't make any difference if Everybody is coming over - or if you will be Alone.

Well, yes it does of course, but not as much as many people make out. Your Needs are going to stay the same, and don’t think that the opposite situation would be that much easier.

One friend of mine sometimes has to feed 25 people (not counting babies) when all her family comes to call – and she does ALL the cooking. Another friend is over 50 and single, but she can pick and choose who she will be with and what she will do. They both find many many things to enjoy and be grateful for.

How would You cope with each situation?

What have You Got?

  • What is Your basic Need?
  • What Resources do you have?
  • What is Most Important part, for You?
  • What Planning do you need to do?
  • What else is Necessary for this all to Work?

Use this to work out a Holiday Plan for You!

If You don't plan -You plan for failure
