Make “Going Green” a Goal That You Will Achieve

It seems that every time January rolls around we tend to reflect on the past year, what we did and what we didn’t do. We think of our accomplishments and often times we dwell on the things we didn’t achieve. It’s quite common, when we realize that the goals we had made for ourselves did not materialize as we had planned, we may feel that we’ve somehow failed.

Really what each of us needs to do, individually, is to learn to move towards our goals one step at a time. Don’t make promises to ourselves or others that we do not have the willingness or the ambition to reach. Achieving our goals, in every aspect of our life, takes a daily effort…focus on where you want to go and work towards that goal.

Many people will make their “New Year’s Resolution’s” but by the end of January they have forgotten about them or have let others convince them that they will not succeed. With the increased focus, during the past year, on “Going Green” many have conscientiously tried to set goals in their lives to be more “Green”. How have you done? Do you believe that the goals you have made in your everyday life, in regards to making “green choices”, will actually make a difference? What you believe and what you do determines what you get. Your actions are consistent with your beliefs, so if you truly believe in the importance of “Going Green” and that you can make a difference, what you do will show this.

As you, personally, set goals for what you want to achieve during this year, whether it be in your personal or professional life, I would like to encourage you to incorporate the many aspects of “Going Green” into your everyday life. There are many simple changes that we can each set as goals that will help us achieve the goal of “Going Green”. A goal, no matter how small or how large, of “Going Green” will not only benefit the environment, but will have a lasting effect on your health and the health of your family.

I can only agree with this. Although I must admit that I was not the fervid "greenie" in past years, I have surely become aware of things be it through media attention or otherwise. Regardless, the threat is real and everyone should do something about it; no matter how small!
