Exactly one year ago I wrote a post about 3 words that would matter to me in 2022: Structure, leadership and growth. And while 2022 started a bit on the “meh” side, the end of 2022 was simply amazing. And I am looking forward going into 2023 with a great love life and a business that is geared for growth.

I did manage to get more system and structure in my life. I needed to stop digging the hole I was in and so I did. While it felt like climbing Mount Everest initially, it was a walk in the park. Leadership and growth? Lets just say there are rooms for improvements on both – but I grew tremendously in 2022 and it was a strong finish!

The words for 2023 are:

Rituals.

2023 is about growing the structure I started gaining at the end of 2022. It is about habits and rituals. Morning, afternoon, evening rituals. Good habits. Good habits that will help my path to personal and professional success.

Execute.

Execution is the act of taking action and making things happen. It involves turning ideas and plans into reality and making progress towards your goals. To execute, you need to focus on taking concrete steps and making progress, rather than just thinking about what you want to do. Get shit done. Stop thinking. Just do it.

Present.

Being present means focusing on the present moment and not letting distractions or thoughts about the past or future get in the way. It involves paying attention to what you are doing and being fully engaged in the task at hand. By being present, I can make the most of my time and fully experience and appreciate what is happening. This applies to being with my love, family as well as at work.
