2020 has been a history-making year, no matter what you take away from it.
For me, one of the most meaningful lessons of the past year is learning how to embrace flexibility and adapt in the face of new, unexpected challenges.
I’ve also learned how resilient we can all be. We’re stronger for having lived through 2020.
As we reflect on the past year and get more distance from it, we’ll continue to learn from it. We’ll get some perspective and keep growing from the experiences and challenges we had in 2020.
Looking forward to 2021, I’m not going to make any predictions. Most New Year’s predictions are wrong, so I’ll spend my time and energy on something more useful.
Instead, I’m going to make some resolutions.
I resolve to use my voice for positive change.
I resolve to stay flexible in my planning and ideas.
I resolve to appreciate the blessings I have and express more gratitude.
I resolve to listen more and communicate better.
I resolve to set aside more time to take care of myself so I can be my best self every day.
What resolutions do you have for 2021?
If you haven’t thought about it, it’s not too late. If you’re drawing a blank, let’s talk.
Some of the most important aspects of my role as an adviser are listening and talking to my clients. I enjoy talking things out and helping my clients find some clarity, especially after recent shakeups.
