A quote I’m pondering

Over the course of our lives, we make millions and millions of decisions that are essentially bets, some large and some small. It pays to think about how we make them because they are what ultimately determine the quality of our lives.

An insight from conversation

What are you looking forward to in 2025?

My sister asked me this over the break. I shamelessly stole it and tried it with adults, teenagers and kids. The openness and optimism of the question energised conversations.

Sometimes the responses surprised me. They revealed what people care about and also what challenges they might be hoping to overcome in the year ahead.

I’m going to see if it can be adapted to shorter time frames than a year too.

An action I’m taking

Interconnectedness was my biggest realisation for 2024, so this week I’m creating a distilled plan for 2025.

Given everything important is a never ending practice (eg health, relationships, finances etc) I’ll be setting some goals, but I’ll prioritise setting practices.

I’ll publish it as an article soon so keep an eye out for it.

Is there one of these that really stood out for you? I’d love to hear your thoughts or suggestions whether that’s a favourite quote or something else.

I hope you have a great week ahead.

With love,

Toby
