Around this time of year, I become reflective and take some time to look back over the previous year (a year is long enough to move in the wrong direction, right?). I have a list of about 20 questions I ask myself this time of year. Over the next few days I’m going to share four of them. Here’s the first:

Year End Question #1
What was my best day at work in 2008?

If you want to have some fun with this question change the ‘at work’ part to ‘at home’ or ‘in my marriage’ or ‘as a father’ or to any other domain of your life. To take it ever further, what was the second best day? The third?

I’m currently cutting my list down to the Top 5 ‘best days.’ I have a lot to be grateful for and I bet you do to.

See you tomorrow for question #2.

P.S. While this post is designed to help you reflect on the previous year, be sure you take time to plan next year too. So, if you are looking for something that will help you make 2009 greater than 2008, check out my resource Developing A One Year Personal Growth Plan by clicking here.
