Welcome to 2013. I’m not much for resolutions in the new year, but I do think it’s a great opportunity to push reset and try again.

So if I had to officially state my plans for the year ahead, the following five objectives sum it up, more or less.

1. Believe more, doubt less. In myself, my God and others.

2. Ride more, drive less. If God is truly in control, why do I keep reaching for the wheel? In addition to faith, I could use a little patience. And self control.

3. Write more, think less. I’ve been a horrible writer lately. Not because I’m writing badly, but because I’m not writing regularly. I need to get stuff out of my head and down on paper (or screen).

4. Finish more, start less. Which is the opposite of my nature. The first thing I’m going to finish this year is that book I keep talking about. Long overdue.

5. Smile more, stress less. This will be the hardest one, because it really depends on whether I can accomplish objectives 1 and 2. I have a lot to be thankful for, and I’m just not thankful enough. The glass is actually half full if I’m being rational with myself.

And that’s what I’ll be focused on, more or less. Oh, and I also want to be fluent in Spanish, eat better, be smarter financially, be an even better dad and husband, go somewhere I’ve always wanted to go and grow a successful business. Ok, that’s it. Piece of cake, right?
