Halftime

Monday July 8, 2019

Most of us are familiar with the term “Halftime” used in sporting events.  Broadcasters use this time to review and provide analysis of the first half, while the teams use it to regroup, reassess, and determine the game plan for the second half.  In musicals and plays they have what’s called an “intermission.”  For the audience this intermission builds anticipation for what’s to come, for the actors, it gives them time to change costumes, rest, and change sets.

We are officially half way through 2019 and this is our halftime/intermission time.  How is your year going so far? Have you made progress with your New Year’s resolutions and goals that you established earlier this year? Are you seeing growth and success in the areas you hoped to see? It is time to reevaluate and assess; analyze your success and your setbacks.  It’s also the time to look ahead and plan for the second part of the year.  Where would you like to go from here? How would you like to end 2019? This is when you need to acknowledge which direction you’re headed. If you’re going towards your goals, then what can you do to get there faster? And if you’re going in the opposite direction, as if moving backwards, then what course of action do you need to take to realign with your goals?  Remember, tomorrow is replacing yesterday, so make today count.
