Here I am sitting in the voted “Best Coffee in Wichita” coffeehouse, gazing out the window on a beautiful winter day, wondering how do I start over in 2016? What should I write about it? Are my thoughts worth writing? Is my writing worth reading?
Doubt easily fills my head with negative thoughts. But then I remember one of my core beliefs—everyone has value and everyone has something to contribute to society. It does not matter how many people read what I write. What matters is that I am creating something new. What matters is that I am contributing to our culture in some way, shape or form. And maybe, even if just one person, someone is challenged and inspired.
So is it worth it? Absolutely.
So again, what should I write about in 2016? Here are some of my writing goals that I have for myself (and anyone who wants to follow along):
- I hope to write a new blog article a week. So by the end of 2016 to have published 52 articles.
- I intend to keep writing about leadership lessons learned in the everyday life.
- I will probably focus on non-profit/small business leadership.
- I want to do some interviews with individuals who are in various leadership roles in our community.
- I hope to use my blog to connect individuals and organizations together.
These are lofty goals I have set, but I know that they are attainable. As the year progresses, feel free to drop a line or make a suggestion.
