New Year’s Resolutions January 2, 2008

Posted by Steve in : Weblog, Family, Methods & Strategies , trackback

Each year, I read about lots of people’s new year’s resolutions. Long lists of things they want to accomplish in the current year — many of which are abandoned before the long winter nights of February are through. I am not doing the list of 57 things this year.

This year, I am setting five simple new year’s resolutions:

1. Love God,

2. Love my wife well

3. Love my children well

4. Do well in leading others at work

5. Spurred on by a competition with my daughter — to read 52 books this year.

On the last resolution, iron sharpens iron and the more I read, the better decisions I make and the more I learn from outsiders that can help me understand, shape and clarify my views and my way of doing things.

First books up are:

“American Pharoah: The Story of Richard J Daley” – I love Chicago and it history and this is a great one.

“Now Discover your Strengths” - Gallup — Knowing what one’s strengths are is a good reflective exercise and allows you to see what other talents you need around you to succeed.

What are you resolving to do this year?
