As this year comes to a close and 2012 approaches, we are inevitably led to reflect on the past and contemplate what the future will bring. Many will find an article, a book or even a simple quote that will resonate with us as we look toward the new year. For me, it was this great HBR article titled, Mastering the Art of Living Meaningfully Well by Umair Haque. Umair’s impetus for this article stems from his own experiences along with the insights of numerous Twitter followers exploring the question, “what three lessons would they give people younger than themselves about leading a good life?” The points Umair shares are great reminders as to how to live in a way that will hopefully lead you to a truly prosperous life. I hope as you read the article you are inspired to live in a way that is meaningful to you. The #3lessons I would give are 1) Find your passion and pursue it with utmost intensity, 2) Maintain an insatiable curiosity, and 3) Do something every day, large or small, that will change the world for the better.

Wherever your pursuits take you, my best wishes to all for a healthy and HAPPY new year.
