As we head into 2018 we all know that these last few days of the year present a special opportunity – it’s a natural trigger to take a look at your life and work and assess what areas are ripe for improvement. I’ve heard it from numerous influencers each year that we must grab this opportunity with two hands and invest some of your time away from the office into your personal growth.
I just read an article that prompted the reader to take a hard look at the last year by asking yourself a few very important questions, as follows:
What was your biggest breakthrough and how can you build on it?
What did you learn from your biggest failure or mistake?
Who helped you the most, and how can you be a greater resource to them?
What have you been wanting to do, but haven’t done yet? Why?
Your answers to those questions may create a lightbulb moment that sets the tone for a great 2018.
I’m particularly excited for the days following the new year celebrations where we’ll be removing ourselves from the ‘noise’ to invest some meaningful hours in reflection and planning for the year ahead.
At the beginning of the year I committed to a goal of publishing a weekly post in 2017 and I’m chuffed to say that here I am sharing the final post of the year not having missed a week. I hope that it has served to be of interest, inspire, teach something new or remind you of something you knew but would then go on to use.
Here’s wishing you a very happy, health, growth- and purpose-filled New Year.
Best wishes from sunny Sydney (was a very proud Dad to see my older boys both surfing today).
