Seed of Thought: One Month In

 A Personal Checkpoint

An election has passed.
A direction has been confirmed.
Intent, at least publicly, has been consolidated.

Now, why not do so privately?

It has been over a month since the year began.
Long enough for resolutions to settle (or slip).

Take a short pause and ask yourself:

• Has what you hoped to carry into this year actually taken root?
• If not, what is worth defining now (or redefining)?

A simple, personal checkpoint.

The MISSION

In a line or two, write what you want to harness in your own life in the months ahead and what will help sustain it.

Organize your thoughts. Journal it out. Put it in a diary. Use it as a frame for your next conversation. The important point is to engage it.
