This year, I'm taking a different approach. I'm ditching the traditional New Year's resolutions, as I've found they often lead to self-imposed pressure and subsequent guilt when reflecting upon them at year's end.
Fueled by the exhilaration of winning my second World Cocktail Championship title, I decided to revisit my previous retrospectives with newfound clarity. A pattern emerged: setting goals, both personal and professional, creates a sense of purpose and propels me forward. With this newfound motivation, I declare 2017 the year of focused ambition!
