It’s hard to believe we’re already heading into the fourth quarter of 2023, but it’s coming right up.
So … how’s it going?
Would your September 2022 self be proud?
Are you on track to reach your goals?
Did you blow by your wildest expectations?
Have you made some wrong turns or hit detours?
No matter where you are now, you still have time to finish even stronger and better. You have time to focus on what you want to get done by the end of this year.
I’ve been thinking about this a lot this week. As you may know, not only am I a Master Certified Credentialed Coach, but I’m also an ordained interfaith minister, incorporating wisdom and inspiration from ancient traditions around the world, into my work and every day.
This past weekend was Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year, followed by a 10-day period of Judaism’s High Holy Days, and this coming Sunday marks Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement or holiest day of the year.
It’s a time for reflection and renewal, introspection and connection.
A time for shedding the old and celebrating new beginnings — wishing family and friends a year filled with happiness, health, and prosperity.
As well as a time for thinking back over the past year, facing your missteps, asking forgiveness, and considering how you may become a better person in the year ahead.
Whether you take part in these customs or not, you can consider this a reminder that life is full of opportunities to begin again and move forward with renewed energy.
This weekend also marks the official first day of fall. Just like the trees shed leaves, what do you want to let go of? What do you want to make room for?
If you haven’t done it by now, maybe you didn’t really want to — so dump it!
Or forgive yourself for putting it off this long — and get to it!
Whatever you’re looking to accomplish in your career or business, the year’s not over yet. Celebrate how far you’ve come, make peace with your setbacks, and reawaken your drive to succeed.
