I’ve been enjoying a little time touching grass but I confess I have never felt more energised for the year ahead in my life.
I don’t do resolutions; I tend to find them a little trite. But I do set a word to live by.
My word for 2026 is: Belief.
I find I have become overly cynical in the last 12 months and I would like to believe again. In ideas, and people, in myself and my community, in possibility.
Keen to hear anyone else’s word for the year?
And a quick snap from our NYE here in Sydney. I don’t share personal photos often, but this one captured something special, so.
Happy New Year! Sydney looks beautiful. Stockholm is white today but has been green, cloudy and very dark all of december so right now I feel like a child, so happy that the world became lighter
No resolutions for me either but starting a company so I guess growing that is a goal.
For a couple of years I’ve fed myself daily with ideas (images, quotes…) that set the direction I want to move in, much of it empowering beliefs
I don’t do New Year’s resolutions either. Why wait for an arbitrary date to start something? Having said that, I don’t currently have any concrete large goals. Grow the company my family started last year, with the eventual outcome that it can support all of us and build a community. That is my north star.
It is hard not being cynical. The real news cycle and how we have returned to a feudal system that concentrates wealth and power to a sub 0.1% elite and has the rest of us in servitude through consumption is hard pill to accept
Same word as every year for the past forty-odd years: humility. Always looking for reminders that I’m far from the smartest (or wisest, or most attractive, or pleasant, or considerate, or generous, or …) person in the room. Never have to look too hard, always benefit when I find them.
