Three questions to ask yourself before the end of the year

Three questions to ask yourself before the end of the year.The other day I was browsing through posts by my facebook friends.

One in particular caught my eye.

It was a couple of really thought provoking questions asked by Pam Slim.

If you don’t know Pam, check out her website which is Escape from Cubicle Nation .

Both the questions Pam asked got me thinking and I found them really useful so thought I would share them with you here.

So, here they are:

Question 1 – What do you want to leave behind in 2011?

and

Question 2 – What do you want to bring into 2012?

I would like to add a third question to these two:

Question 3 – What do you need to do to make this happen?

So, as we head towards a new year, I invite you to ponder on these questions and see where they lead you.

Would love to hear what comes up for you. Please share your thoughts in the comments below.

    Thanks Ali – a helpful prompt! Its got me thinking before the usual December 31st resolution making session! 
    A very positive and purposeful way to end the year!

    Ali – Great questions! I want to leave behind that nagging pushing voice in my head that drowns me in the sea of expectations. I want to bring more flow and ease into my life and work in 2012. What I need to make that happen is to stop trying to control everything, especially outcomes which are beyond my control. Big lesson, working on it…

    Glad you find it useful Sarah. I must admit, I am not a fan of the whole making new year resolution thing. I never do any. I think designing what you want to have happen then working on that on a rolling basis thoroughout the year is far more powerful and delivers much better results than the annual frenzy around resolutions.

    Hi Ali,
    What will I leave behind – all fear.
    What will I bring with me – hope.
    What do I need to do to make this happen? Get lean and mean  - and more organized!
    It’s nice to meet you Ali!
