    RECENTLY, someone on my Facebook asked me to use one-to-three words to describe how the start of 2023 has been for me so far. I posted “Ctrl-Alt-Del” (Control, Alternate and Delete). What do I mean? To control, is to take charge. To alternate, is to find a replacement and to delete is to remove.

    How can these three words help us start our 2023 well? Let’s apply them to what I term as the three enablers to a good life – personal growth, health and wealth.  

    Personal growth

    Control: Start 2023 right by first taking charge of what we put into our minds. The Think-Feel-Act cycle is a neuroscientific concept positing that how we think creates our feelings, and how we feel drives our actions. So, if we want to drive our personal growth in the right direction this year, start first by feeding our minds with positive thoughts and wholesome content. This means to control what we watch and read.
