This talk lays out a roadmap on how to be new in the new year.
First, it's important to know what matters to you. Secondly, you must start where you are. So often we don’t like where we are in some way, that we don’t want to start from there. In order to go about creating newness in the new year one must have beginners mind, humility, and the presence to start where we are.
