I was rudely awoken at 3am when my darling daughter returned home from a night out.  I know it is one of the perks of parenthood to have ones nights disturbed by ones offspring.  In the early days they wake us up because they are hungry, sick or in need of changing.  To my horror, I discover at the other end of the spectrum, not much has changed!!

Whilst I can’t pretend to have enjoyed the process, perhaps it is in the nature of being woken up that we resent the process.  Here we are, happily living our lives, going down Life’s highway with cruise control on and the music turned up, oblivious to what is going on all around us.

Well there is nothing like a New Year and a global financial melt-down to wake you up!  Life has many ways of nudging us onto a different  path.  Take some time out before you begin 2009  for real to consider if you want this year to be just the same as last year or whether it is time for a change…  There are a lot of self-help resources out there you could check out but there really is no substitute getting someone else to help you with this process: getting some new inputs and some fresh insights and challenges.

Good Luck!
