What are your Resolutions for the New Year?
Its about time to start making those New Year’s resolutions. Consider a new spin on this popular trend…
Make your New Year about one word. That’s right - pick just one word (or maybe two words at the most) that you want to sum up your New Year and what you want to accomplish. Here are some examples:
Devotion, Beauty, Leadership, Love, Family, Spouse, God, Learning, Perseverance, Change, Belief, Fulfillment, New Opportunities, No Debt, Strength, Less…
I have a lot going on in our firm this year, as well as at home. My word will be “Leadership” this year.
Let me know what you think.
Thanks, Jason M. Blumer

Hi Jason
I like the power of this idea. Having one word gives a criteria to judge all actions and decisions by - is this opportunity in support of my single resolution or not?
My word for this year will be “health”. I have an abundance of opportunity in my life; my biggest challenge is saying “no”. But what suffers is my health - through lack of sleep, poor nutrition, not enough exercise or relaxation. Instead of creating a bunch of “should” resolutions that leave me feeling like a failure when I don’t achieve them - I’m going to take your approach. A single word “health” which can inspire me instead of discourage me.
Here’s to a happy and healthy 2008!

Maybe focusing on one word will allow some success in this area for 2008!
