Happy New Year! Wow, we are in the year 2023. Can you believe it? The older I get, the faster time seems to go by. Question for you. Did you accomplish all of your goals in 2022? Honestly, I did not, & I was not excited about that. During my reflection time, I concluded that I did not accomplish all of my goals in 2022 because I did not follow through on what I said I would do. It was that simple. I did not follow through. Therefore, I have tagged this year as “The Year of Follow Through.” Everything you desire is on the other side of your follow-through. Commit & do what you said you were going to do. Whether you're trying to learn a new skill, make a career change, or accomplish a personal goal, following through is a must.
