The CK Daily – Make this Year Yours
Happy New Year, everyone! I hope you all had a fantastic Christmas and holiday time.
By now, we all have hit the ground running in 2022. While it would be easy for us to be apprehensive about 2022 after 2020 and 2021, we have to take the bull by the horns and make this year what we want it to be. I am personally excited about the freshness of a new year to make the most of it.
I have started re-reading “The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People”. In one chapter where it talks about habit #2, “Begin With the End in Mind”
“Because we already live with many scripts that have been handed to us, the process of writing our own script is actually more a process of “rescripting,” or paradigm-shifting – of changing some of the basic paradigms that we already have. As we recognize the ineffective scripts, the incorrect or incomplete paradigms within us, we can proactively begin to rescript ourselves.”
For me, I realize that I need to change some of my short-term (daily/weekly) and long-term (monthly/yearly/life) scripts that I have been handed or even created myself over the years that are ineffective. Instead of going through the motions of activity and playing the scripts automatically, I have started stopping and asking myself, “Is this really what I want or need to do to reach my goal or be the person I want to be…today, tomorrow, next month, next year?” It will take a while, but it is refreshing to STOP doing things instead of just starting new things on top of stuff that does not benefit me.
Have a great Thursday, everyone!
