Its 31 Dec 2022, an end of a year again… And I am quite happy and contented. ?? I have a clear vision of what I will do in the new year, as I am already doing it daily.
From the failures and the learnings of last few decades, I don't set unachievable goals at the end of year, which sets me free from repenting at not achieving them. With a clearer than ever purpose of my life, I am walking towards it daily, sometimes failing, sometimes pivoting a bit, and many a times succeeding.
Discovering our pillars
Few years back I came across two wonderful books 18 mins by Peter Bregman and Essentialism by Greg McKeown. Both talk about focussing on key pillars which matter most to you and your life and saying no to all rest. Some deep thinking gave the clarity of my pillars which are:
Daily execution
For these pillars I have specific daily actions focussing on progressing a bit daily. The compounded progress in few months, working most of the days, is amazing. This progress uncovers our hidden potential and encourages for the next level of growth.
While planning is good, executing (doing) is key. And to be prepared to start well and overcome challenges (which will come and can derail) these 3 things have helped a lot. Refer this blog - Winning with life which keeps throwing new challenges every day...

?After Discovering our pillars and Daily execution, living a happy and contented life is possible when we pause and perceive the beauty around us in small things and be thankful for what we have already achieved. And minimising the material possessions which don’t get us long term happiness. Refer Art of happiness by Dalai Lama.
With this we don’t need to set impossible new year resolutions which we fail and later repent.
Hope in this New Year 2023 we all can unravel what we want and what gives us long term happiness and cultivate the courage to Resist (from innumerable distractions) and Persist (our actions)!
Happy New Year 2023 ??

2 年Happy New Year Mahtab. Thanks for sharing. Love the idea of personal pillars. We use pillars in business so much, what a great idea to apply the same to our personal lives (and so obvious!!) I’m going to give this a go in 2023. Inspiring as always - thanks again for sharing your wisdom ??
