Less

As the year winds down and the new one is rounding third and headed for home, like many people, I find myself thinking over my life: what’s working, what’s not, what happened over the last year, what may happen next year.

I’m a resolution maker. I do it every year, except I call it an Action Plan. While they’re pretty cool, and I often achieve at least some of what I hope, there’s always things I can’t achieve; things that are out of my control.

With that in mind, this year, I’m taking a different tack. What I find myself wanting, more than anything else, is less. Less fat, less debt, less junk, less conflict (both within and without). Just…less.

That’s what I’m going to focus on this year, not a specific course of hoops I must jump through; just a general direction where I’d like to wind up.

And the beauty part of it is? The less I have, the more I’ll gain. With less distraction and hassle, I’ll have more time and space for the things I truly care about.

So for this year, I intend to live the motto: less is more. I wish you less in the year to come.
