“Show up on time. Know the text. Come with a head full of ideas.” – Tom Hanks

January is traditionally the month when we think about what we want to do better, do more of, or do less of in the new year. Usually this is in the form of a list of resolutions or goals. And often it’s a dizzying array of things we want to accomplish by year end: 12 months and so much to achieve!!

I say, it’s time to take a different approach. Instead of torturing yourself with a laundry list of resolutions and goals (although there is nothing wrong with goals) let’s do this: Keep it simple. Keep it real.

What does that mean?

Keep it simple means thinking about one theme that you want to define your year. What is most important to you? How will you define success – for you – come December? What will be your guide – your personal mantra – as you navigate work and life throughout the year?

Keep it real means being true to who you are. Developing a better understanding of yourself and how you interact with and are affected by people and situations around you. Celebrating what makes you unique. Making decisions that align with your values. Recognizing your strengths and admitting to those areas where you still need some work.

As he accepted the Cecil B. DeMille award at the Golden Globes recently, Tom Hanks shared his personal mantra for his success in the movie industry: “Show up on time. Know the text. Come with a head full of ideas.”

Simple. Real. 14 words. And easily translatable to any industry, or to life in general: Be on time. Be prepared. Be ready to contribute.

So how about it?  What will be your theme for the year?

Your assignment is set aside about 30 minutes this week to create your own personal mantra. Try for 20 words or less.

Remember, keep it simple. Keep it real.

Till next time,

Karen
