2014 Resolutions

Consume less, specifically media and physical goods, and be cognizant of passive, non-value added activities, specifically mobile device, internet, and social 
media use.

Run 2 marathons in new or interesting parts of the world, and complete a century ride (100 mi)

Do more to thank, serve, forgive and celebrate people, but stop worshiping them or allowing them to control your emotions or behaviors, especially through guilt, criticism or petty drama. Set an example. Build a better relationship with God.

Do more to invest in yourself within the office and outside of it, and embrace projects, presentations, initiatives, introductions and situations that would otherwise scare you. Be mindful of the people that you surround yourself with. Read books. Remain curious. Don't accept a life any less than awesome.

Build equity in its most productive forms, and solicit advice. Accept and embrace the 'ickiness' of personal finances that otherwise makes you procrastinate. Avoid pressures from anyone to buy more home or car than absolutely necessary. Define your own measures of a man's greatness.
