WELCOME 2020!

How do you welcome a new year?

-Do you make those silly resolutions that fail after two weeks?

-Do you jot down key goals and share these to your loved-ones and accountability partners?

- Do you start with positive attitude knowing that this year can be better than the last or exceed your expectations/ 

-Do you start a new habit right after the eve and pronounce war with resistance?

-Do you become cynical about making changes in your life that what you want to do is to just get ' that one thing done at a time?'


These are not trick questions meant to make you feel inadequate but to provoke you to consider adopting the road less travelled. The road less travelled is not easier but it works because you are not fighting against yourself or against the odds that are bent on crushing you. 

It is about harnessing your greatest strengths because those things can elevate your performance from 'good enough' to 'excellent.' If you are good in writing, focus on writing. If you are good in marketing, perfect that marketing proof or that material you want to develop. If you want to have a stab at innovation, start leading an innovation camp within your organization. Don't try to be something you are not destined to be! Go where there is the natural flow and let that take you places you don't imagine exist.

Try to look at areas in your life that are not developed enough but have the potential to fulfill your spirit, increase your joy, build efficacy, and maintain your discipline. These areas are evidences that you can be better at something without going overboard and breaking your bank and back. Furthermore, this exercise can give you the added nudge to move in parallel to where your priorities are for the year.


You can only start from what you have, not what you don't have. Consider moving in areas where there is the least resistance and get a big dollop of satisfaction from accomplishing them.
