What is my number for 2012?
There is huge emphasis today on the symbolic and almost spiritual
significance of certain numbers and their relationship to our daily lives.
Many are captivated by the mystical connection between numbers or units of
measurement, and how they relate to various aspects of our experiences. My
sense is that “12” is the number you need to know for 2012. And “12” is the
number you need to know as you plan to move forward into 2012!
“12” is the number of publishers who rejected J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter
manuscript when she was living on social assistance in the early 1990s.
Eventually, it was picked up by Bloomsbury, and today Rowling is worth an
estimated $1 billion, and the Harry Potter brand is worth an estimated $23
billion. J.K. Rowling went on to sell 450 million copies.
The lesson for us all is this: Don’t Give Up! Be tenacious in engaging your
strengths, relentless in following your passions, and unyielding when you
fall down! The number “12” teaches us the following lessons for 2012:
- Be Tenacious in Engaging Your Strengths - Discover your strengths, your
unique “LIFEFIT”, and begin to live them! Don’t allow the setbacks from your
weaknesses hold you back. Don’t let the discouragements from not being as
strong as you want to be to hold you back. Be tenacious in engaging your
strengths. Steadfast. Resolute.
- Be Relentless in Following Your Passions - Terri Guillemets said this:
“Chase down your passion like it’s the last bus of the night. Follow your
passion, and success will follow you.” Resolve that 2012 will be a year of
chasing your passions, rather than chasing success. When you chase success,
often disappointment and bitterness is the result. When you chase your
passions, success is often the result.
- Be Unyielding When You Fall Down - We all fall down when we are seeking to
walk, run and soar. If we are not falling, it is because we are not trying,
not risking, and not stepping out. Henry Ford famously stated, “Failure is
only the opportunity to begin again more intelligently.” When you fall down,
don’t yield, resign, or surrender. Simply get back up, learn from the event,
and begin again, but this time with greater insight and intelligence!
“12” is the number you need to know for 2012. Be tenacious in engaging your
strengths, relentless in following your passions, and unyielding when you
fall down when you are living your dream!
