This is the twelfth post in a continuing series designed to help you create a great 2008 - using
questions to reflect on last year, and project into the future. All of the questions and additional information can be found
in this tool, available for you to download now.
The twelfth question is:
What lasting memories will I create?You may be thinking that this isn't an intentional question - that memories happen and while we can be grateful for them, we can't preordain or plan these memories.
I don't believe that is completely true. While I may not be able to tell you about the memories themselves ahead of time, I can determine the situations I want to be in and from which the memories will be generated.
Consider this is a question about life balance, because I'm guessing all of your answers (or even your first answers) won't be about work or just professional memories.
I plan to generate memories with my family through a family reunion, a party to celebrate my father's life, and a trip overseas, (as well as some very fun evenings of Wii Tennis).
I plan to generate memories with those I work with in our office (i.e. Remarkable House) - memories that will be meaningful both personally and for the business.
These are just a couple of my answers. I hope you consider this question and your answers carefully, as of all of projective questions, your answers to this one may be the most valuable to you five years from now.
Be intentional about creating memories, starting today.
