As 2024 winds down and you start gearing up for 2025, please remember that setting and achieving goals aren’t the only - or most important - things to do!
How you work towards, and plan to achieve those goals is just - or more - important!
Because you can achieve your goals by stepping on and hurting other people in the process. You can achieve them by making others feel fearful and excluded. You can achieve them by harming other living things and our planet.
You can also plan to work towards the goals you set in ways that build people up! In ways that include and create trust! In ways that create safe and joyful spaces for people and all living beings!
As you are reflecting on 2024, and planning for 2025, please take time to ask yourself if the way you are going about striving towards your goals has helped others…if it’s created good…and if it’s given you joy! If the answer is “yes”, keep going! If the answer is “no”, change course!
It’s your choice! Because you have to power to set (or not set) any goals and determine what you are willing, and not willing, to do to achieve them!
How we get there really is just as, or more, important than where we are going!
That is what Kind Leadership is all about!
