Look Back Before Moving Forward

At the end of every year, I dedicate a day to looking back. I think about a lot of things, and I use Who, What, Where, When, Why, How as a framework...

Who slowed me down
Who helped me 

What I set out to do
What I did 

When I was struggling
When I was happiest 

Where I tripped
Where I soared

Why I failed
Why I succeeded

How I lost motivation
How I inspired, motivated, and empowered others and myself

I look within myself to find balance, and I look outside to find knowledge. I listen and learn from experts in all fields, knowing the diversity of thoughts and opinions enriches mind and body. I reflect on the news and trends - good and bad - and think about how I can use newly acquired knowledge to be successful next year.

2011 was an amazing year. 2012 will be even better.
