I don’t believe much in New Year’s Resolutions, I believe now is as good a time as any to change for the better.
However, there is one resolution I made around the end of last year into the new year, so I suppose you could call it a New Year’s resolution, and that is to pursue personal development.

I recognize I have a lot of thing’s I need to work on in all areas of my life and the more I learn about myself, the more I study and learn from other successful people and role models, the more I realize how much work I need to do in my life.

I’ve subscribed to a bunch of personal development related blogs, listened to a bunch of audio programs and through our VeloCITI Business Acceleration Program I went through a pretty extensive personal assessment, by Roland Cox from Aspiral.

Over the past couple months people have been recommending lot of books for me to read, mostly relating to my business life, but I’ve been so preoccupied with other stuff that I haven’t yet gotten around to reading them. So today was the day I went to Amazon and got all the highly recommended books I want read.
So, yay! I should be getting all books in about 2 weeks.

Woot! I just got back from a 4 day trip canoeing on Orange River. I’m sore and tired, but I had a great time and definitely look forward to doing it again sometime in the future. I uploaded some pictures I took from my cellphone to flickr, so you can have a look at a few of the photos so far, but there’s lots more to come.
Still to come are pictures taken from the River Guides (those will be some good shots, as they’ve got pictures of us in the rapids) and others in our group.
