Dear SafetyXChange Members:

If you're shopping for a new year's resolution, here are the ones that I would recommend:

1. Resolve to stay optimistic. See the opportunity in every difficulty and anticipate the most favorable outcome to every situation.

2. Resolve to identify the most powerful benefit you offer to the people around you and then deliver it. "The purpose of life," said George Bernard Shaw, "is a life of purpose." What's yours?

3. Resolve to pump-up your personal vitality. The real currency of the new century is not cash. It's vitality. It's the ability to keep going every day of every week of every month of the year with vigor and verve.

4. Resolve to be habitually generous. Success is not something you pursue. It's something you attract by what you become.

5. Resolve to refrain from verbal attacks. Use the language of conciliation, not the language of confrontation. Use words that express your joie de vivre and connection with others.

6. Resolve to be open to the cultures and influences of others. There is a direct correlation between personal well-being and openness to other peoples' ideas and cultures.

7. Resolve to take control of your destiny. Don't be so busy trying to make a living that you forget to make a life.

8. Resolve to increase your human connectedness. The person with the best connections wins.

9. Resolve to increase your creativity by letting go of the familiar. Try to see the world through fresh eyes every day.

10. Resolve to be you because others are already taken. You and I are at our best when we're being authentic.

Wishing you career success and a safe and happy 2006!
