It’s that time of year again – when I say that I’m going to start blogging again and lay out all my plans for doing so. But I’ve decided that there are very few people who enjoy reading all about what other people are planning. Sure, I understand the psychology of making your goals public so that others can help put peer pressure on you and hold you accountable. But still, not very fun to read.
So rather than giving you a big list of goals, let me leave you with a list of quotes that are inspiring me in pursuit of my goals.
“How many a man has dated a new era in his life from the reading of a book.”
-Henry David Thoreau
“Motivation is what gets you started. Habit is what keeps you going.”
-Jim Rohn
“There is nothing noble in being superior to your fellow man; true nobility is being superior to your former self.”
-Ernest Hemingway
“Everybody has talent, but ability takes hard work.”
-Michael Jordan
“How noble and good everyone could be if, every evening before falling asleep, they were to recall to their minds the events of the whole day and consider exactly what has been good and bad. Then without realizing it, you try to improve yourself at the start of each new day.”
-Anne Frank
What’s inspiring you to make a better year for yourself?
1) Welcome back.
2) Love the blockquote font.
3) For me, this year is the year of Love. Love self. Love others. Love work. I figure if I can remember that all of my actions need to be directed towards one of those goals, I’ll have a pretty OK year.
Hope you and the fam are doing well, buddy. Happy new year.

1) Thank you, sir.
2) As do I – I actually installed this theme before I knew about the font, so it’s been a bit of a bonus.
3) I think you’ll be in good shape with that focus. It’s kind of the ideal, isn’t it? The perfect motivation and the perfect end result.
