With a new year ahead, it’s time to reflect on the year that’s been and set yourself up for

success
in ways that matter. Rather than jump straight into goal setting for 2018, and penning out all your
ambitions in glorious detail, take time to review what’s been and soak in all the triumphs and
tribulations that you’ve weathered. Only with this time to pause will you be set up to pave the
way for a new year in a way that is meaningful, purposeful and graceful.

Your reflections should run the gamut of career, relationships, self development, your role as
both a community and global citizen and your mindset and outlook. The key is to not always
strive for more, but to understand what's currently giving you energy, and robbing you of on
energy; and understanding how this impacts how you show up in the world. Here are 20
