This is question #12 of the Year End Countdown Challenge held in Dec 2012, where we count down to the new year with 13 reflective questions. The challenge is now over but you can do the tasks in your own time. Visit the overview page for all the challenge tasks.
Welcome to Day 2 of the 2013 Countdown Challenge! :D
Over 220 Official Participants!!
At this point of writing, we have a whooping 180 220 participants on board. 220!!! That’s 220 people from around the world, all gathered here at PersonalExcellence.co, to count down to the year of 2013 together as one.
I thank all of you for signing up for this 2013 Countdown Challenge and joining me in rounding up 2012 and welcoming 2013 as one community and one family. I have always felt that Personal Excellence is this third space in our lives, between our workplace and our homes, where we gather with like-minded individuals to grow. The challenges, and your fervent responses to each challenge, are the exact proof of that.
I’m excited at what 2013 is going to bring, but first, let’s focus on reflecting on how 2012 has been for us. This is what the 2013 Countdown Challenge is for. Onward and forward with the challenge guys!

1. That the world didn’t end last Friday. That would have sucked.
2. That I continue to do well in my return to college. Current GPA 3.93, one more semester to finish my Associate’s degree in IT, and I will be continuing on to get my Bachelor’s.
3. That I am still employed and making decent money, even if the schedule sucks. That part is one reason I’m getting my degree, actually.
4. That I continue to enjoy multiple trooping opportunities, this year and every year, many of them charitable, with the 501st Legion of Stormtroopers.
5. That I’ve found the energy and drive to get off my butt and get working on improving my outlook on life, as of late last month. PE will be a part of this in 2013.
6. Discovering things about myself that I think are responsible for the problems I’ve been having in my marriage. The issues suck – but unless I’d learned about them, I wouldn’t have the opportunity to fix them, and maybe save my marriage.
7. Having a nice, comfortable home, even if it does need what seems like constant expensive repairs.
8. That I’ve also managed to develop at least the start of the energy and drive I need to control my diet and fitness, which ties in with #5 above.
9. Getting in touch with a number of old friends for the first time in years, thanks to Facebook.
10. Finding new online groups of friends, thanks to my beginning to look into what I needed to do to improve myself and my outlook. Everyone needs a support group.
11. Coming to terms with an ugly abuse episode when I was a child, which I’d mostly forgotten about but which I believe damaged my ability to relate to others. I actually met with a counselor several times this year, and just talking about it made what felt like a huge difference.
12. What a year for movies! Prometheus, Dark Knight Rises, Avengers…
