Happy, Healthy, Prosperous, Optimistic, and Calm New Year. Well, 2020 did its best to throw the kitchen sink and more at us. We suffered, grieved, and grew even as it felt like we were spiraling out of control at times.

So what will 2021 bring? I have no clue. I don’t think many people do. As they say in Denmark, it’s difficult to make predictions, especially about the future. However, these principles can help us navigate the uncertainty and work toward creating a better tomorrow together.

This week’s video is about one of these principles, and it works wonders when you get stuck. And let’s face it, we will have a moment or two of s(t)uckiness this year. So when it happens, and you don’t know the answer, ask a better question.

And here’s something new for 2021, each week, I will give you a prompt, and I would love to hear your response

Here you go, if you had one minute to share something with the world, what would it be?

Pause, Breathe and Reflect Tour: To celebrate twenty years since My Last Bad Day, I’m riding across America (Astoria, OR to Yorktown, VA) this summer to help spread a message of calm, resilience, and community. I’ll be raising awareness and support for our 1st World Nations, as well, since my accident occurred on Navajo land. I hope you will join me virtually or perhaps on your bike for a few miles.

Finally, if you are ready to make 2021 your year of Post Traumatic Growth, we should talk about our leadership academy because we can’t grow by ourselves.

Until next week, remember to Pause, Breathe, and Reflect, and let’s have more fun storming the castle this year!

Michael
