For 2024, my word is Enrich.This year I am focused on growth, both internal and financial.After six years of learning about cryptocurrency, trading, and technical analysis, I feel like I have learned enough to build my fortune. For centuries, clever people with a bit of capital have engaged with financial markets to generate fantastic amounts [...]
For 2022, my word is Fortune. I resolve to make my fortune this year. I've got money issues, like all of us do. My issues are woven up in issues of safety and worthiness, and falling ill has shown me that when finances are tight, I get sick. Living with an autoimmune disorder, the [...]
For 2021, my word is Ease. I want to live this year without struggle. Many of my greatest achievements - getting off the streets after being homeless for years, finishing a bachelor's degree after ten years of undergrad, moving to New Zealand - I achieved because I can handle struggle. I'm resilient and hard [...]
These are the habits that will support the achievement of my goals for this year. I may not keep all of these resolutions (read my thoughts on Why Breaking New Year's Resolutions Is Good For You) but just by setting these resolutions, I have aligned myself with the direction I want to go for the [...]
I know that New Years Resolutions are ridiculed and lampooned by many, but I find them to be an indispensable goal-setting tool. The annual act of lifting my gaze into higher possibility keeps my attention focused upward, on what I could become, instead of behind me, on my mistakes. Yesterday before my annual review, I [...]
Ordering two cups of coffee, my wife and I sat down for one of our most cherished rituals of the year. We had our favorite notebooks, with the pens that made us feel powerful when we wrote across the page, and together we wrote our New Year’s Resolutions. Yesterday’s Annual Review helped me calibrate myself for the year [...]
I think New Year's Resolutions are okay to break. The purpose of a resolution isn't to stick to a plan, but to calibrate which habits are the right ones for you, right now. Disclaimer: I break most of my resolutions within a week. My birthday is January 7, and I believe that holidays and birthdays [...]
New years resolutions really resonate with me. Sometimes, I can make them stick, and keep better habits; other times, I break my New Year’s Resolutions, and learn plenty from them. Resolutions seem to have fallen out of style, despite evidence suggesting that new habits stick better when you start them on important days, and besides, I [...]
I love the New Year. It is a time when we assess ourselves, and frankly decide on how to become the person we decide to be. When I make my annual resolutions, I am constructing the person I want to be next year. Deciding on his habits. Creating his goals. Envisioning his achievements. Every year, I [...]
It's going to be a good one, this year. I can feel it. My new vision board for this year is also my new desktop background on my laptop. I'm expecting good things. I really, really enjoyed 2012. As years go, it will be a hard one to top. This year I find myself calmer, [...]
