This is a lovely message.

A great reminder of the importance of kindness and positive intent.

My word for 2025 is mindfulness: being aware of my mind so that it becomes my ally.

Mine is simply 'now' in an attempt to foster a bias to action for 2025.

Oh yes, that's a good one - what you can do now should not wait (my NY resolution).

This is so beautiful! Thank you for sharing~

I can't decide on a single word for 2025 but these are the ones I came up with: Gratitude, Joy, and Peace 💖

I'm still at the beginning of my creator journey and there are times that I get impatient about my progress and I get worried about the future, but I don't want to be consumed by fear. I want to focus on what truly matters and make wonderful memories 💗 It's about the journey, not the destination :)

Excellent post Gunnar! I love how you’ve reframed kindness as a core strategy, especially in spaces like digital marketing and social media that often feel impersonal. Your tips are such simple yet transformative acts. They remind us that behind every screen is a person, and leading with empathy can create connections that are far more valuable than just another pitch or transaction. It’s a refreshing and much-needed perspective in today’s fast-paced, often disconnected world. Thank you again!

Time does fly. - For me, my word year is awareness. - Becoming more aware of how I think and then act. I think the more you become aware the more you can course-correct your way instead of being on autopilot. --- BTW some great suggestions of how to put 'Kindness' to work. It's one thing the Internet can't have enough of.
