My Top 10 Resolutions for 2013

A short and simple post today. (Perhaps I should resolve to do that more often?)

I'm not one who usually makes resolutions. 2012 was the first year in decades I made any at all.  I made two, both relating to my first book.  I accomplished them.  Spurred by that success, I'm making ten for the New Year.

In 2013, I'm making resolutions that I can accomplish.  Goals just vague enough that failure requires more effort than success, and important enough that success is not optional. 

My resolutions this year are single word verbs, active verbs.  And in no particular order, they are:

Make Resolutions That Matter

• Improve
• Progress
• Encourage
• Appreciate
• Persist
• Believe
• Enjoy 
• Inspire
• Entertain
• Love

Sometimes, single word goals are the most difficult.  Not because they're vague or undefined, but because they're encompassing and require commitment in all aspects of life. 

I measure personal success by these verbs. And I resolve to accomplish them all.
