		<description><![CDATA[More people get hung up on implementing their strategy than at any other stage in changing directions. It&#8217;s the moment of truth, the point at which we move past talking and planning into actually doing.  We should be able to move ahead when we have a clear direction, but sometimes our progress gets blocked.

		<description><![CDATA[Are you trying to walk backward into the future? Are you holding on to aspects of the past that prevent you from moving on? There’s no doubt about it, it’s hard to move forward when you are looking backward. To one degree or another we often define ourselves in terms of the past. Change is always accompanied by loss. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[How clear are you about where you’re headed next? Do you have one clear direction you want to take, or are you trying to go in several directions at once? If we’re going to get somewhere in life, we have to make choices and focus. We can’t develop a strategy until we’ve found that focus. We need to make a choice that fits with our lifestyle, our budget, and our inclinations. One difficulty in finding a fit is trying to balance the demands of work and family]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There's probably no greater power than the power to follow through on what you say you want to do.   It's an essential skill when you want to take your life in a new direction. Yet we often set goals only to let ourselves down.  The best strategy, goal setting and scheduling in the world are useless unless you can get yourself to put them into action.

		<description><![CDATA[Even if we find a new direction we’d love to take to establish a sustainable livelihood and a strategy for doing it, there’s still the challenge of fitting all that’s involved in making the transition to our new life. The toughest part about changing directions is that you have to do it while juggling what you’ve already got up and running. We have to exert an effort to restructure our lives to support the changes we want to make, and create a new path on which our lives can unfold. As long as our lives ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Sometimes it’s like a rear-end collision – sudden and completely unexpected. Other times it’s more like running out of gas – gradual and accompanied with warning signs that we may or may not heed.
