Happy New Year! And 2022 Affirmations

2022 is going to be a much better year!
Do you know why?

Because we are going to make it a better year!
A happier and more meaningful life is our choice.
We have a community with collective intelligence.
We can set goals and share solutions to any problems.
There is nothing stopping us.
We can arrive at new solutions that none of us individually could solve.
We can even come up with better problem definitions and better problems.

We have endured much stress and suffering.
We are proving our worth, our resilience.
We have made some progress, yet the learning has exceeded our understanding.
We have not fully tapped our potential.

This year, 2022, will be different!
This year we will rise to the many challenges we all face.
This year we will find out what we are truly made of.
We will set goals and convictions.
We will climb to new heights.
We will take collaboration to the sky.
We will take on responsibilities for our successes.
And we will feel awake and fulfilled in every moment of our determination.
With every intention, with every execution of duty, we create and expand the definition of our humanity.

And that is why 2022 will be a banner year!

Setting goals and targets

The path, one step at a time
The journey clarifies

The journey rewards itself
The journey refreshes the soul
Taking us to new heights!
