New Year’s Resolutions January 2, 2008
Posted by Steve in : Weblog, Family, Methods & Strategies , add a commentEach 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?
