People are celebrating tonight.

I just am not sure what the celebration is about…

Are people celebrating the death of 2006 or the birth of 2007.  I suppose that is very subjective.  If your 2006 was a mess, and you had many horrible experiences, then you are probably the first to want to throw that shovel full of dirt on 2006′s casket.  The need to bury the past is one of the biggest reasons people feel the need to get inebriated to the point of loss of memory on New Year’s Eve.

Personally, I want to be there for the birth of baby 2007!  I want to see the eyes of opportunity open for the first time and look into mine.  The first cry of 2007 will be the sweetest sound!  I want see 2007 wrapped up in its little blanket, safe and warm and comfortable, because it will only feel that way for a short time.  Since the future is always changing, I won’t be spending too much time studying 2007 face, since it will not be recognizable by the end of January.  Things move pretty fast once it gets going, so I want to make sure I am in a position to keep up with 2007 when it finally learns to walk.  With that first step, will come the first sprint and I want to be ready to keep pace, to prevent 2007 from getting too far ahead of me, because I don’t want to be left behind.

Too many people are happy to forget last year, but I want to remember my mistakes, so that I can avoid them in my future.  I want to remember my failures, because I want to use them as a learning experience.  I don’t want to dwell on 2006, just  not forget it.  My time on earth is fleeting and the memories accumulate faster than my mind can recall them.  Total loss of consciousness is not a part of my plan for New Year’s Eve.

Instead, I plan on cooking a meal for my wife and daughters, working on the irresistible offer for my ebook: Resolve to Succeed in 2007, and compiling the interviews I have received from many marketers who have been kind enough to agree to be a part of my ebook.

I am making a place in my home for baby 2007 to be born, even though the 2 bedroom mobile home that is slowly decomposing around the 5 of us who live here, I will welcome the New Year into my home with open arms.  The New Year will only need shelter from us for a few moments before it tears off into the night at blinding speed, bringing those of us along who choose to be prepared to run at the same pace.  If I harness the power of 2007 properly, my home will be replaced with one that will be more spacious for my family and the welcome mat that I will be placing out for baby 2008 next December 31…
