Three Goals for 2009

This post from Chris Brogan is awesome.

Set Three Words as Goals for 2009

If you want to try the process, it works something like this: think of how you want to be successful in 2009. Then, try to think in even broader terms. Extrapolate on the broader terms, and find one word to hang the idea on.

Meaning, don’t think as much “I want to lose 50 pounds and get back into my high school pants.” Try thinking “Fitness means I’ll be able to cover more ground.” From there, you can say “ground” might be your word. And then, when you look at that as a word, you see how it can open you up to even more meanings. “Ground” can remind you to get fit so you can cover more ground. It can mean to be “grounded,” like someone who feels calm and at rest. Full post.

My three words as goals for 2009:

• FITNESS. In-bounds, with accountability. A healthy place between Denise Austin and Rosie O'Donnell.
• SHARE. Intentionally and regularly. My time, my money, my hands, my resources and my influence.
• GUTTER. Get a clue in places where people are not like me. The places where I need God the most. 

Thanks for pointing me to the post Terry & Shawn.
