"History repeats itself, and that's one of the things that's wrong with history." - Clarence Darrow
Success and failure should never be an endpoint. The best learning happens when we build on what we know and reflect on what we need to still learn and explore.
I always like to welcome my students back after the holiday break with a bit of reflection on the year that was. It is also important to revisit successes and failures to help reset goals for the new year.
A few years ago, I read a post about most New Year's resolutions failing too often before we flip the calendars to February. For this reason, I decided to scrap the long list of resolutions I won’t remember a few weeks from now anyway! The focus is now on choosing just one word as a foundation for the new year.One word you can focus on every day, all year long… One word that sums up who you want to be or how you want to live. It will take intentionality and commitment, but if you let it, your one word will shape not only your year, but also you. It will become the compass that directs your decisions and guides your steps.
