The weather here turned cold today, ending what seemed to be an endless summer. As the leaves begin to fall and we transition to winter in the Northern climes, it reminds us of the cyclicality of life. Time to reflect on what has passed, celebrate our successes, and remind ourselves that whatever may have been our failures, we get an opportunity in the new year to begin again.
In my experience, putting some intentionality around what I want to happen increases my chances of looking back at this time next year and noticing and measuring progress and success. With that in mind, I offer the following questions to consider before the year comes to an end.
- Was there a significant experience in the past year that impacted you? How did it affect you? Are you grateful? Relieved? Resentful? Inspired?
- Is there something that you wish you had done differently this past year? Alternatively, is there something you are especially proud of from this past year?
- What is one thing you’d like to achieve by this time next year? Why is this important to you?
The initial results of my Pivot are excellent. I feel I have much greater clarity regarding the next 3-5 years..
