Every single decision you have ever made in your life… yes your life has brought you to this blog today.

Truth I’ve spent hours of my life writing it and collating it, why? My mission, is to make a positive difference. What’s your mission?

The following list is intended to stimulate your mind, thinking and to help kick out any malaise, apathy, sadness that may have took hold in what really was a massively testing and challenging 2021.

You wanna get the best from this, go grab a blank piece of paper and a pen or two, read and go through this, and write down the numbers that really pop and speak to you. Then keep going over and over, until you whittle them down to just 22. At which point, copy and paste them onto a word document and print and keep in eye line if your desk.

I swear this will keep you fired up, focussed and going in 2022. Maybe you also post your 22 on own timeline with a link to this blog. There is of course a lesson within this exercise also, life, success is as much about what you choose not to take on as much as what you do.
