Summary

It has long been thought that at the beginning of the new year, you should make a long list of everything that you want to achieve, but that, I believe, is false. What we know now is that what's more important is to have a clear single intent. Instead of simply making an aspiration to do more than you've ever done before, you should focus to do less but better. Have you ever fallen into the trap of making too many New Year's resolutions? Today, I will share a story, something counterintuitive that I am learning and some actionable advice. By the end of this episode, you will be able to set your essential intent for this year.

The season is a bit ironic, I think, because on the one hand it's a time that can be peaceful,
