Values for 2009 (not resolutions)

As usual, I am a couple days behind on reading my RSSes. I came across an interesting post at odd time signatures by Karoli where she talks about 2008 being a year of changes both voluntary and involuntary. For 2009 she vows that it will be a reboot and beginning of Life 2.0.
So here’s my goal, and it follows my pattern of doing what I do: Launching Life 2.0.
In Life 2.0, I am resolved to:
- Allowing myself to be led by passion and not fear.
- Owning my mistakes and embracing my successes.
- Learning new skills, being unafraid to try new things.
- Using the gifts that I’m given to help and encourage others.
- Letting my passion for people and technology lead me toward and through whatever career risks I need to take.
When computers are rebooted, their memory is wiped clean and the essentials reloaded. Usually they perform better than they did before.
When life is rebooted, it’s an opportunity to embrace the challenges, changes and transitions with passion rather than fear. That is my goal.
The thought of the new year as a reboot is refreshing in itself. Karoli also identifies values for living my life that definitely resonates with my emotions and values.
I see the goals that Karoli identifies as much more than just goals to achieve they are values to be lived and help others live to reach their potential.
I am adopting her goals as my values to live in 2009 and beyond.
