2016...another new year, another opportunity for
resolutions! Now I’m not a really big New Year’s resolutions person, however,
it does give one time to reflect on the past year and to look ahead to a new
year. I try to take this time of year to think about the changes I want to
make. Be it professional or personal, an opportunity for growth and improvement
lies with each New Year. Perhaps you may think that way as well. If not
consider the possibilities that resolutions or changes may make for a more
enjoyable life and more success at work.
Personally, I could list the some of the same items from
previous years that you may have on your list:
Lose weight, tackle the undone projects, etc, but I want to focus on the
intrinsic characteristics I admire most in others. I will try to be more
patient, and more tolerant and more understanding. I plan to work harder at my
responsibilities and do a better job at whatever I do. I will try to make the
time to “smell the roses” as they say…or in my life that means: take a walk,
take a friend out to lunch or just spend time doing something for others.
Professionally, we can also set goals, both for improving
our business and for developing our own capabilities. We can try to reach out
to new customers or learn a new skill, in essence, challenge ourselves. Success
comes to those who actively pursue excellence. If we focus on what we can do to
improve at our job, the possible returns may surprise us.
The New Year brings more new undertakings for me as I learn
the job here at the Main Street Program.
Events ahead will prove to be busy and worthwhile to our members and to
the community as well.
In 2016, I plan to meet many Main Street members, get to
know them better. These businesses have committed to the Main Street Program by
becoming members. That means investing in this community’s future and working
together to strengthen and support the local economy. That makes Barnesville a
better place to live and work for us all.
Whatever path you choose to begin 2016 on, may it be of
benefit to you and others as we in Barnesville strive to enhance relationships
between residents and businesses.
