Can We Make 2023 the best year EVER?

If I want to make 2023 my best year ever, first of all I have to define what that would MEAN. I would say this: “to use a higher percentage of my potential, capacity, consciousness, internal and external resources. To be more efficient and effective in relation to my potential than I’ve ever been.”

There is a way in which this makes sense to me, and also puts control of my life squarely in MY hands. It is the “dog” of the situation. Life’s response to me is then the “cat.”

Got scads of different ways to look at that question, and each will say something slightly different, but they are all saying the same things ultimately. So let’s look at one of them I really like: Brendon Burchard’s “High Performance Six.”

The HP6 are the six characteristics his studies suggest make the biggest difference in “moving the needle” for high performing people: Clarity, Energy, Urgency, Influence, and Courage.

1. What does it mean to have great clarity? That would be clear goals, and a clear view of the situation, and a clear grasp of what resources, abilities, and allies I would need to accomplish it.
2. Energy. Obvious. Critical for almost any accomplishment. That means both AMOUNT of energy, and my capacity to use it efficiently and effectively. To use a higher and higher percentage of whatever energy I have sounds like a terrific goal.. There are very specific habits I can examine to raise and refine my energy. Many are already in place, but need to be properly tuned.
