Personally, I lean towards Objectives over resolutions or even goals. There is a nuanced difference, but that is a conversation for another day. I share two of my Objectives below that I have set for 2025. Side note: I organise my Objectives broadly across five areas, or circles, of life: Personal Growth (PG), Health, Wealth, Relationships, and Experiences.
This year, my focus includes these two big Objectives in my Relationships and Wealth circles:
Why am I sharing these with you? Because I have always believed that putting your objectives, goals, resolutions, or intentions out into the world sparks two powerful things:
Accountability: It is out there now. Everyone reading this knows what I am aiming for. That makes me accountable, not just to myself, but to all of you. Thank you.
Connecting the Dots: One of my favourite quotes comes from Steve Jobs (yes, I know opinions on him are mixed): “You can’t connect the dots looking forward, you can only connect them looking backwards.” Every conversation, introduction, email, meeting, event, social media interaction, and opportunity in the coming year could be part of a dot that helps bring these Objectives to life.
I encourage you to think about the dots you are hoping to connect this year too.
