It's that time again… Time to look back and take stock of all that I've accomplished and let go of in the last year, and to look ahead to plan for the next 12 months. And what a place to stand, here on the brink of 2009! It's like trying to tread water in a rip tide or something.
I've been thinking a lot lately about how I want to approach 2009 differently. In the past, I've tended to focus on setting goals and making things happen; but these days, things are shifting and changing so fast that it's hard to imagine what's going to happen next month, let alone a year from now.
I think a better strategy in these turbulent times might be to focus on how I want to BE and what wants to BECOME in 2009. I have a little wood carving on my desk that perfectly captures how I'm feeling:
"We cannot direct the winds but we can adjust our sails."
Here's what I'm wondering today:
What will you do differently in 2009?
