Happy 2023! Many of us are embarking on a fresh slate of goals. Resolutions get a bad wrap, but I believe there’s power in a ‘temporal landmark’––a fresh start where you can separate the past from the present.

In this journey, here’s a thought that I liked: have an artist’s ambition but an engineer’s mindset.

First, dream big like an artist. Weirdly enough, visualize failure. What obstacles you could face? Where could you stumble? Then like an engineer, dissect these issues and build your process. Every input, every action. Reframe your identity and environment.

Be impatient with your actions, but be patient with the results. And give yourself grace: it’s better to be consistently good than occasionally perfect. Anything is better than nothing.

Will be rooting for you this year! How are you engineering your plan?
