Each year as we approach the end of December and the beginning of January, we are urged to begin anew. Some years, this feels like a time of excitement and motivation. Other years, it feels like too much pressure. The point is, the time that is right for you to take action in growing your legacy as a leader has nothing to do with the calendar. When it's time, you'll know. And once you know, you shouldn't wait a moment longer. As I wrote in my 2022 New Year Letter, "Do the work to figure out who you TRULY are and what makes you Glowe, and then go all in."
What I really want to share is - don’t wait. Do the work to figure out who you TRULY are and what makes you Glowe and then go all in. I began 2021 with all the ‘safety nets’ in place, but not quite fulfilling my purpose or going all in. I can tell you that safety net got ripped from out from under me and after I processed through the emotions, I came out the other side a different person.And now. I am REALLY Glowe-ing. Like, Neon Pink, brightness UP full blast glowing. I waited due to doubts and fears, which the wiser, experienced fellow Glowe humans would all tell you is just a waste of energy. And they are ALL CORRECT.So, I compiled a short list of personal lessons from 2021.
I am half way through my 49th lap and I’m grateful I figured out these very important lessons. In 2021, I fed the flames and I ended the year with a glowe unrivaled in my lifetime (thus far). I am grateful for those who didn’t believe and didn’t want me to glowe. I am grateful for the challenges, fears and doubts.However, I am MOST grateful for the groundswell of supporters, champions, mentors and true believers that are helping us unlock human potential so we can ALL Glowe.
