It’s that time again. The time when we look back and look forward. Lists abound…the best of and worst of 2023.
I’ve never been a big fan of those sorts of things.
However, I do believe it is a good idea to take a glance back at your victories
and what you might want to strive toward in the coming year or more.
So, what were your wins last year? When you look back
what are the three things you achieved or happened in your life that make you
smile when you look back at them? At my house we have a memory jar…anyone can
put a memory in over the year, and we go back and read them on New
Year’s Eve (or other times!) This isn’t my idea, credit goes to my wife, Kiki. It
is a great way to look back and remember those memorable events or “wins” from
the last year.
As we look forward to the next year, you may have a
few things you really want to get done…climb a mountain, retile the kitchen, or get to the gym 3x a week without fail. Any number of things come to mind. They
don’t have to be big things but if they are, maybe you should break it down a
bit. Decide in January you will do 1 thing to move that goal closer to fruition.
Just one thing, like look at tile samples or pick the mountain. If your goal is
a big hairy one it can look impossible. Yet every one of those big hairy goals
is just a series of small do-able steps. Lots of aphorisms for this…the journey
of a thousand miles begins with one step, or how do eat an elephant? One bite
at a time.
Celebrate your victories! Plan for more next year.
Let the rest of it go.
Let’s make 2024 your best year ever!
