Each one of us just gained another year of knowledge. 

Hopefully, you learned some new information through books, sermons, podcasts, lectures, blogs, TED talks, classes, and lectures. 

There is also the experiential knowledge you obtained.  The lessons came from success and doing things the right way.  Also, there is the hard-earned education that you received from your missteps and failures. 

As you go into the new year, you can use the lessons from the past year in ways that will make this year better and more fruitful.  Last year can be the stepping stone to improving this year. 

Reflect, learn, apply, and then do better – one year at a time.
