This year, a friend who was a little bit overwhelmed with work obligations exclaimed to me, “There are only so many hours in a day!” While this may seem true, it is possible to rethink this limiting belief. The truth is that there are so many hours in a day! In 2015, you will have about 2,000 of work time, over a hundred weekend days, and about 1,000 additional leisure hours, give or take. What will you do with all this extra time? It is possible to make serious strides towards meaningful personal reinvention in a year. The trick is to set some realistic goals and then work toward them diligently and steadily. That is the purpose of this calendar. This 2015 Personal Reinvention Calendar gives you daily and weekly spaces to record your goals for personal reinvention. Each week, you can remind yourself of the goals you set. This way, one day at a time, one week at a time, you can advance to where you want to be in life. You may not get all the way there in one year, but you can get far. A bright future is waiting for you if you are willing to do the work. Wishing you a fantastic year of personal reinvention in 2015!

It may be hard for an egg to turn into a bird: it would be a jolly sight harder for it to learn to fly while remaining an egg. We are like eggs at present. And you cannot go on indefinitely being just an ordinary, decent egg. We must be hatched or go bad. C. S. Lewis

This year, a friend who was a little bit overwhelmed with work obligations exclaimed to me, “There are only so many hours in a day!” While this may seem true, it is possible to rethink this limiting belief. The truth is that there are so many hours in a day! In 2015, you will have about 2,000 of work time, over a hundred weekend days, and about 1,000 additional leisure hours, give or take. What will you do with all this extra time? It is possible to make serious strides towards meaningful personal reinvention in a year. The trick is to set some realistic goals and then work toward them diligently and steadily. That is the purpose of this calendar. This 2015 Personal Reinvention Calendar gives you daily and weekly spaces to record your goals for personal reinvention. Each week, you can remind yourself of the goals you set. This way, one day at a time, one week at a time, you can advance to where you want to be in life. You may not get all the way there in one year, but you can get far. A bright future is waiting for you if you are willing to do the work. Wishing you a fantastic year of personal reinvention in 2015!

It may be hard for an egg to turn into a bird: it would be a jolly sight harder for it to learn to fly while remaining an egg. We are like eggs at present. And you cannot go on indefinitely being just an ordinary, decent egg. We must be hatched or go bad. C. S. Lewis
