9 Questions You Need To Answer

Tis’ the night before Christmas as I sit to write,

A letter I hope can shine some light,

Some questions to provoke the thoughts,

Of the people who will soon be frequenting yachts (you).

Did you like my holiday-themed intro poem?

It was a very arduous 15 minutes to create it.

We move.

By the time you read this, you will probably be in the “Dead Zone”.

The Dead Zone is that period between Christmas and New Year’s.

It’s a tricky time to navigate.

Everyone is doing their own thing.

You need to respect personal space.

A part of you might want to get ahead.

A part of you might whisper to slow down.

Ideally, you can find time for both.

This time is a treasure, so treasure it.

I want to leave you with a few questions to consider during the Dead Zone.

9 Questions:

  • 3 about your past year

  • 3 about the Holiday period

  • 3 about the biggest year of your life (2024)

Onward.

Okay, wait.

I lied.

There are 30 questions.

Consider the others my gift to you!

BUT…I recommend you choose 3 from each section to ponder.

Do this deliberately.

Sit with a pen for 30 minutes and write out your answers.

It could be the biggest period of personal growth in your dead zone.

Here are the questions.
