If anyone knows what we’re looking for, it’s Google. They see millions of searches each year and at the end of each year they publish their Zeitgeist to tell us about the most popular searches across a range of categories.
You can check out the full Zeitgeist 2012 or get a quick summary by watching the video below. It’s well worth watching.
In all the busyness of this time of year have you managed to set time aside to draft out a few New Year’s resolutions?
Maybe you’ll get some time over the next couple of days. I’m hoping to get something together before the year moves on too far. I’ve got a few areas of life where I want to see change or growth and I have most of the ideas of what they’ll look like in in my head. I simply need to commit them to paper … er … computer.
While many people don’t believe in such things I reckon that any time we can sit down and take stock of our lives and make plans for the time ahead is time well spent.
As with every year I’m sure that many will set all the usual resolutions about losing weight, getting fitter, quitting smoking, reducing debt and all the rest but I wonder what 2013 would look like if we made resolutions and goals about improving relationships with those close to us and then asked those people, or others, for help in staying accountable to those goals.
I wonder how things would be if we made resolutions about helping those we may not even know but who need a hand up.
How would 2013 shape up if we determined that family was more important than the demands of work and then structured our schedules accordingly?
What would it be like if we decided that 2013 was the year that we would look beyond the physical and material things of this world to discover deeper spiritual meaning?
I wonder.
