Don't Roll Over!

Thinking outside the box for the New Year!

Humans are wired for instant gratification. The majority of us would rather play than work and many of us would rather lounge around than play. But the fact remains, we get no lasting gratification from taking the easy route. It’s actually hard work that satisfies us, makes us happy and leads to success!

Gratification comes from performing a new or challenging action. It comes from trying something different, from getting out of your comfort zone, from completing a task. This is a good time for each of us to start thinking outside the box by seeking information and to take responsibility for our activities for the coming New Year. Yes, 2012 is just around the corner!
