What do you expect in 2005? Do you have lofty goals? Do you expect 2005 to be your turning point year? What will you do to make it happen?

Positive turning points in life rarely happen by circumstance. In fact, circumstance tends to favor the status quo. In order to make great strides in our lives we must fight the status quo. We must expend great energy to break the shackles of routine—like a rocket trying to push past the earth’s atmosphere.

The thrust of our efforts must be consistently applied. If a rocket’s thrust lets up, even for a second, the vehicle will fail to escape the atmosphere. When we seek to change a habit or overcome a circumstance we cannot let up. One backsliding episode may set us back to the beginning. I succeed on my diets when I refuse to allow any exceptions to my resolve.

If we truly want to make 2005 our turning point year we must plan effectively. It won’t happen on its own. We must plan active steps to accomplish our goals. We must take charge of the change we seek. We must also plan what we will do when we feel tempted to let up on our resolve.

The most effect way to stay motivated to change our habits, to stay energized and to sustain real change is to study inspirational, positive material daily. Such books, tapes, and videos will keep us enthused and headed toward our dreams. They will help us maintain our resolve.

Daily study of scriptures and books by motivational writers will keep us focused on our highest ideals and aspirations. By filling our tanks every day with the rich fuel of premium unleaded inspirational material we can speed along the superhighway leading to your dreams.

One ingredient in your plan for making 2005 your turning point year is to plan the material you will study to keep yourself on pace to achieving your goals. Allow me to make a few suggestions:
