It is easy to get caught up in the rush, forget the high points, dwell on the low points, and lose track of the bigger picture. If you haven't done it already, take the time now or in the next few days to reflect on your professional and personal accomplishments and activities in 2009. Uncover and smile about the high points. Don't compare your accomplishments to anyone else. Feel good about the progress you made, the fun you had, the relationships you built, the people you helped, the lessons you learned, and more. 

Then picture yourself doing this again a year from now. What do you want to be writing about then when you look back at the highlights of 2010?
