All the confetti is now cleaned up, the ball has dropped, and you are back to daily grind. Welcome to 2017.

But before you dive back into business as usual, I want to encourage and challenge you to hit the pause button and ask a question.

You don’t have to keep doing the same things the same ways. You are not stuck. You are not powerless. You can change.

The Most Important Question You Need to Answer

So here’s your question. In what 3 ways do you want 2017 to look different than 2016?

For this to be helpful, you must be brutally honest with yourself.

This could be:

Personally?

Spiritually?

Physically?

Emotionally?

Relationally?

Professionally?

This year can be different, but only if you courageously and honestly answer this question.

In what 3 ways do you want 2017 to look different than 2016?

Don’t let life just happen to you.
