Q4-2017 (photo credit: Grace Church)<\/p><\/div>\n

Week #160 – Q4 is Here! (What do you have left to do in 2017?)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Greetings Tribe — and Happy Friday!<\/p>\n

With the flip of a calendar page to October 2017 — we have made the turn into the fourth quarter of 2017.<\/p>\n

There are three months and exactly 13 Fridays left in the year.<\/p>\n

A dozen weeks to finish STRONG!<\/p>\n

If you’ve been keeping up with your dreams and goals…good for you!!! \u00a0Hopefully you’ve been keeping track, as well: gratitudes, achievements, highlights, benchmarks, photos, accomplishments.<\/p>\n

(If not, don’t worry. \u00a0Check out Week #68<\/a> for some surefire ways to remember these things!)<\/p>\n

As I wrote last year about this time<\/a>, the turn into October is usually a white-flag moment for me: the last lap. \u00a0A time to stop, take stock, and set a course for Q4 — the finish line of the calendar year.<\/p>\n

Last year, October got away from me. \u00a0A few significant deadlines, the holidays, the debates, a trip to the DMV…and before I knew it, it was Halloween!<\/p>\n

(And Halloween is a slippery slope into the holidays and the end of the year!)<\/p>\n

So this year, I’m not waiting! \u00a0A friend posed this question to me last week, and I’ll share it with you:<\/p>\n

What do you have left to do this year — that you don’t want to take into 2018?<\/p>\n

Your Happyness Challenge for the week ahead:\u00a0<\/strong>What do you have left to do in 2017? \u00a0<\/strong>Is there something you still need to do that is nagging at you? \u00a0If so…you’ve got a full three months to get it done! \u00a0Don’t take unfinished business into the new year. \u00a0Break it down into a dozen steps…share it with a friend…find yourself a buddy…get to work…and get it DONE!<\/span><\/p>\n

Most important…keep collecting the good stuff!<\/strong>\u00a0 Keep on keeping track of the good stuff! \u00a0Because we need more of that. \u00a0More focus on the wins. \u00a0More focus on what’s right. \u00a0More focus on loving our lives — so that we can live our lives more fully.<\/p>\n

“Give yourself the gift of done!” \u00a0(Jon Acuff)<\/em><\/p>\n
