“What the New Year brings to you will depend a great deal on what you bring to the New Year.” – Vern McLellan

3 Words for 2017
2016 was a full court press.
The past year seemed faster, louder, and required more hustle.
2017 is here.
Nothing like a fresh start.
Each year I choose 3 words to guide my decision making in the year ahead.
I started doing this in 2014.
It’s a cool way to set the course for the new year.
These 3 words are not resolutions.
They are filters I run decisions through.
Think of them as a compass.
They set the direction.
They get me back on track when I get into a rut.
