I had a bad week last week. I’m not going to tell you why, the details don’t matter. What matters is that something went wrong: unexpectedly, unfairly, in a way I hadn’t seen coming.

As we progressed through January several people asked about my New Year resolution. And I must confess I was deliberately cryptic – “it’s big and it’s going to take a while” was about all I’d share.

It’s a surprisingly tough question — especially in a world that’s always rushing us toward the next thing. But if we want to live intentionally, especially in retirement or during a life reset, we need to slow down and get clear on what drives us at a deeper level.
That’s where the Personal Values Discovery Worksheet comes in.
