Library Revolution

I have spent the first 8 days of 2008 trying to think of some goon New Year’s Resolutions, but I’ve had little luck. There are certainly things I’d like to turn over a new leaf on, things both in my personal and professional lives that I’d like to do differently this year. But I’ve had a hard time listing them – sometimes these sorts of things are so hard to define!

So I’ve decided to choose a mantra for 2008 instead. Something I can repeat to myself whenever I make those difficult decisions and face the challenges ahead. The mantra is simply this: I Am Not Afraid.

Afraid of what?

I am Not Afraid…

• Of change
• Of taking chances
• Of trying new things
• Of reassessing old things
• Of making tough choices
• Of sticking my neck out
• Of being wrong
• Of pissing off some people
• Of failure
• Of success

 
2008 will be a big year for Emily. And I’m not afraid of that.
