With the beginning of a new month, and a new quarter for 2024, I spent time reflecting on my goals for this. year. What’s clear that there are some habits I get to get better at especially in the area of communication with those close to me. I speak in shortcuts which doesn’t always support me or become self-righteous or self-pitying that quite frankly doesn’t look cute on a 52 year old.
I also had some wins. From regularly getting up at 415am on weekday to get to my 5am Crossfit class, cutting down my sugar intake significantly, intermittent fasting an average of 16 hours (usually more) to finish reading 2 books (The EMyth for Attorneys, and Smarter Faster Better: The Transformative Power of Real Productivity ) to setting a daily revenue goal, focusing on the business aspects rather than just lawyering, and whole heap of under learnings.
There were some gaps as well. First, still learning to make systems a habit, and realizing it is slow going at first, and that’s okay. My impatience can become an obstruction at times. I get to learn to slow down. To take it in. Oh, just remember that I completed and sent out my first personal essay of 2024, and of course, it featured Zyan. And that brings me back to my life. Him. Suddenly, all of it makes sense, My drive to do all of these things has a face: his.
And so I begin this quarter imagining the biggest financial, emotion, and personal year possible. All of it so I can be a good provider, father, husband, friend, son, brother, brother in law, lawyer. What good is success if it doesnt make you the best version of yourself? Thats a question I plan on answering this year.
