Happy New Year friends!
A new year often brings new resolutions, and many of us will create and hopefully manifest plans that we believe will help us become better people.
Resolutions are commonly defined as: a firm decision to do or not to do something.
Here are my 2023 resolutions:
I’m going to communicate more.
And…
I’m going to communicate less.
I figured I would start the year, and the first of my new monthly Rory’s Stories thought pieces, by sharing my personal resolutions with you all.
Since we often find inspiration from each other, let me briefly explain:
Like many of us, I’m on a long-term journey to be the most authentic version of myself. This year, I have resolved to communicate more in an effort to embrace a part of my authenticity.
My rationale is simple. I enjoy communicating and I love all forms, reading, writing, listening, talking, etc. But, sometimes, even for me, it can be overwhelming to press send on my messages. Like many of my friends and clients, I too have a fear of rejection and uncertainty - and it sometimes stands in the way of me sharing my authentic self and ideas with others.
Therefore, one of the ways I’d like to manifest my authenticity (and love for communication) is by pressing send on a few more messages. Specifically, this monthly story & thought piece entitled, Rory’s Stories. The goal is to share some fun stories and communication related thoughts with my friends.
I hope these notes will deliver a smile, ignite an idea, start a conversation, or even prompt a personal reflection. And above all, provide a reminder to my friends and colleagues that I'm thinking of them and hope they are all well.
