Punxsutawney Phil is the world's smallest and furriest weather forecaster and February 2 is his day. Who forecasts your weather and life? Who is taking responsibility for your communications, personal development, and behavior?
You may have never celebrated Groundhogs Day , but there is much to learn from these furry friends. They are excellent diggers, constructing a burrow with a main entrance and an escape tunnel.
If you are ready to move to the next level, dig and ask questions so you have information to create your own opinion of how to move forward; focus on positive thinking; construct a plan and be flexible; and have an escape tunnel. Establishing a "Plan B" upfront will help you feel secure in your journey. Look to change your own behavior.
Start planning today to get your head out of the sand and take control. You are the one that must translate energy into superior performance. Take a stand and plan for what you want.
Groundhog Day grew out of a mainly German superstition that if a hibernating animal casts a shadow February 2 -- the Christian holiday of Candlemas -- winter would last another six weeks.
If no shadow is seen, legend says spring will be early.
Like Phil, you are a unique being. Donīt wait another six weeks to take action. Do it now and forget about procrastinating. You are in charge of your life.
