The year is 2013. The first day. Last year seems like only yesterday. There is no undoing of what you got from last year. You did what you did. You know what you know. You made what you made. You loved who you loved. Whether you think it was a blessed year or a cursed one, you are correct.
For some reason, we seem to need this first day. We usher it in with honor, libation, dancing and kissing and temporary resolve. Yet, today, we are barely aware that the countdown to the next “last day” has already begun.
The question that is on my mind on this first day is this: What would happen if you knew what accomplishments are non-negotiable for you in this new year? I am referring to that event or experience or accomplishment that absolutely must have transpired by the time we get to day 365. I call this “The Year in Preview.”
