The holiday season is upon us with Thanksgiving mere days away, and Christmas only a few weeks beyond.

It can bring a lot of stress and drama into your life.

What to get everyone and how to make every person you know feel loved and special?

The slow depletion of your bank account or ever accumulating debt adds to this stress.

But these are not acceptable reasons to coast these next several weeks.

Coasting is the temptation most face between now and the New Year.

It is in the air this time of year. Everyone it seems is shifting things into neutral and waiting for 2017 to end and 2018 to begin.

Don’t let that be you.

Resolve to hold the line.

To remain vigilant and consigned to the disciplined path.

Discipline won’t allow you to coast. It forces you to stay in the game and keep moving forward.

Does that mean you can’t relax and recharge? No, it means you don’t waste your time the next 6 weeks.

It means you keep getting up early and grinding it out.

It means you don’t blow all the hard work you’ve put in this year by letting it all go right before you cross the finish line.

Let everyone else take time off. Let the whole world coast these next few weeks.

You’ll be busy getting after it and taking ground.
