You can walk away from the accident and start all over with a new life." Your optimism and 'get things done' attitude/system remind me alot of myself, a few years back. I'm not really sure what happened, and I guess it doesn't matter as long as I get back on track and live my life. Thanks for your posts and consistent blog updates!

The result is that I accomplished more than I thought in 2008. So I I chose a theme for 2009. It will be fun to see what those same metrics measure next year at this time based on that theme. Thanks and Happy New Year. You have made a difference in my outlook this past year. Looking forward to the upcoming one. All best to you and yours.

I also have to tell you I absolutely LOVED reading your "Brief Guide to World Domination: How to Live a Remarkable Life in a Conventional World." Simply one of the best things I've EVER read! And the two questions you pose are truly the most important questions a person can ask themselves. I've begun to put your "toolkit" into practice. I can now see where and how I want to make my impact and how I want to help others. Thank you SO MUCH! Also, I was glad to hear you use mindmapping. I am big fan of mindmapping. In fact, I write a blog all about it (http://mindmapblog.com). Check it out and let me know what you think. Have a wonderful day! ---Chance p.s. I liked that you used "chance" in your post title - it has double meaning for me given my name is Chance. Chris:

I've been lurking here for a while (really love your blog!) and made an effort to begin documenting EXACTLY what my New Years resolutions are and EXACTLY how I accomplish them on my blog. I linked to your fantastic annual review exercise since that's what helped me put those goals in perspective. Thanks for your good work! Great optimism, Chris!
