I’m not making any resolutions this year, no not this year, none at all. The pedant in me wonders if this is indeed a resolution but I’ll let that pass. I’m resolute and in this way success is guaranteed, I cannot fail to achieve anything I haven’t set myself to do.
In previous years I have taken this time of year to think about the future, having reflected on the past only the week before. In fairness to myself I have always achieved the majority of what I set out to do with some successes, some failures and some slight bending of definitions to squeeze another over the line. Perhaps my targets were too soft and not self-flagelist enough?
I’ve used this period of reflection and projection (if that’s the opposite of reflection) to remind myself that things have been done, movement has been forward and that I am only human and not everything can be done.
This year, if you recall, there will be no resolutions yet this does not mean that I do not resolve to do anything, far from it, but rather that I know not what. My future, workwise and so outside work, is undergoing a significant change as I ease into retirement. It is not yet clear to me what will happen before this time next year. In truth, I have so many things that I want to achieve and the first quarter of the year is setting out to be extremely busy. I just do not know with any certainty how it will all pan out.
What does the future hold for CyberNorth (an exciting one I think) or Guerrilla Working (a bit more passive perhaps) and all the other things I have and continue to be involved in. I guess we are about to find out.
Good luck with your resolutions. I hope they bring you the success you want. Happy New Year.
