your '25 theme
|
Today’s Note is an assignment. I want you to pick a word for ‘25 that will act as your North Star for the year. I know it’s the time of the year for short-lived resolutions and half-assed commitments–I speak from experience, but I’ve found that having a word, or a theme, for a year has helped me stay focused for the entire year. Your word could encompass your resolutions; for example, my word for last year was “discipline”. If your goal were to lose weight, work out more, etc., discipline would still guide you toward that goal—focus on the behavior or character trait, not the activity. So pick a theme and share it with someone—you can share it with me by just hitting reply (or DM’ing me if you’re reading this on LinkedIn). My word for ‘25 is “patience.” I’ll share more in the coming days about why I chose it–or better yet, it chose me. JC |

I was editing last week’s Keep Pursuing Series talk to get it on YouTube and the podcast players, and I kept thinking about one of the “helpful hints” I shared towards the end of the talk…look to how you can serve others to begin discovering your unique gifts and talents. I’ve written about the importance of serving others and how I think all of our authentic lives include us serving others in some capacity—it could be a career, a side hustle, a volunteer, or some other way. Given that we are...
I hope you had a great week! This week was the third talk in the Keep Pursuing Series called "unique gifts," and it was another great evening. You can catch the replay on YouTube or on Apple Podcasts and Spotify Speaking of Apple Podcasts and Spotify, I've made a tough decision (for me, at least) to pause the Daily Note podcast recordings. While I enjoy recording them, the feedback I've received shows that listeners don't love the episodes. The main feedback I'm referencing is just looking at...
