[Newsletter] If You Want Change, Start Here

Hi there, As we look at the year ahead, perhaps the most liberating realization is this: many of our future successes are, in fact, up to us—shaped by our current actions and the choices we make along the way. Today’s reads reflect exactly that. While a bit of luck is always welcome, we hold significant power over how things unfold.

If there’s one New Year’s resolution worth keeping, it’s this: the readiness to roll up our sleeves and work toward the things we want.
