Make a New Normal

Living

Life is hard. And full. And awesome. Live it.

  • These are the three words I use to guide the year. It’s a practice I’ve been up to since 2016 and find it helps me focus.

  • As we start planning to make the new year better than the last, let’s prepare to help one another live a better life, with joy and courage.

  • I read a bunch of different books this year, but one book stood out. It rewired within me the very sense of what life actually is.

  • A collection of things that made this year cool, from vacations, things learned, to new things done. All wrapped up in one.

  • The easy question we ask ourselves is “Is it possible that I will want it?” when we should be asking “how often will I actually use it?

  • The challenge of evaluation in the modern age is that we are all doing it all of the time. Which critiques are worth anything to us?
