My 2 goals for 2021 are More and Better.

Here we are again at the beginning of a new year. The shelves have been restocked with hope. We have resolutions to keep and gym memberships to use. Okay, so you aren’t going to the gym because of covid, and because you have some kind of exercisey-thingie at home. (I have been going to the gym, because there is no one else there.)

The Resolutionary War

I don’t make resolutions. I set goals. And I have 2 very simple goals for 2021. They cover everything I want to do this year.

My 2021 goal: To do more and better.

I want to do more on the X-axis. I want to get better on the Y-axis. And I want all of the arrows in my life pointing up and to the right.

I want to do more of everything.

• More fun
• More joy
• More work
• More growth
• More rewards
• More winning
• More exercise
• More reading
• More adventure
• More volunteering
• More helping others
• More quality time with my family
• More time spent with friends
• More Dinty Moore

But it’s not enough to simply do more. I want quantity and quality. Like chocolate and peanut butter. Like tastes great and less filling.

I want to do everything better.

• Better work
• Better play
• Better husbanding
• Better parenting
• Better friending
• Better thinking
• Better ideas
• Better writing
• Better contributions
• Better skills
• Better quality time
• Better health
• Better commitments
• Better investments
• Better conversations
• Better advice
• Better leadership
• Better Homes & Gardens
• Better Baby Buggy Bumpers

Key Takeaway

It’s impossible to know exactly what lies ahead over the next 12 months. But you can commit to growth and self-improvement. Your capacity is a matter of self-perception. Self-improvement is a mindset too. Getting your mind right is how you get your life right. So here’s to a More and Better Approach to everything in 2021.
