<p><em>This article was originally published on The Huffington Post and can be read </em><a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/ellyn-shook/what-will-set-your-soul-o_b_13727054.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"><em>here.</em></a></p>
<p>I couldn&#x2019;t resist the &#x201C;What quote will define your life in 2017?&#x201D; challenge on Facebook last week. When I saw the results, I was pleasantly surprised at how accurate it was. It pretty much nailed my outlook on life.</p>
<p><img width="531" height="650" class="center" src="https://media.licdn.com/mpr/mpr/shrinknp_800_800/AAEAAQAAAAAAAAdhAAAAJDliZjY1M2MzLTYyYWQtNGU1OS04NmUyLTlhNzZlM2Q2ZDk2Zg.png" data-li-src="https://media.licdn.com/mpr/mpr/shrinknp_800_800/AAEAAQAAAAAAAAdhAAAAJDliZjY1M2MzLTYyYWQtNGU1OS04NmUyLTlhNzZlM2Q2ZDk2Zg.png"></p>
<p>So as 2016 comes to a close, rather than looking back, I&#x2019;m looking forward. And, focusing on these seven things that really set my soul on fire.</p>
<ol>
<li><strong>Double down on people.</strong> Technology is transforming how we work and live, but it&#x2019;s human creativity that accelerates progress. Technology enables people to take on more interesting and higher-value work -- so we need to provide learning opportunities to help them step up to these new challenges.</li>
<li><strong>Relentlessly pursue gender parity.</strong> While Accenture has made tremendous progress in the past year, our resolve will only intensify. Sparked with our signing of the <a href="http://www.paradigm4parity.com/#intro" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Paradigm 4 Parity</a> pact, I will continue to engage and evangelize to hasten results around the globe for both Accenture and beyond.</li>
<li><strong>Try to be my best professionally and personally.</strong> In 2017, I will continue to build on my <a href="https://www.thriveglobal.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Thrive</a> journey. By being transparent about both my successes and my setbacks, I hope to foster a community of like-minded people who will dispel the myth that burnout is the price we pay for success.</li>
<li><strong>Lift as I rise.</strong> The next generation holds so much promise. And, I can help these emerging leaders by giving them opportunities to learn and the safety net to fail forward on the path to achieving their aspirations.</li>
<li><strong>Finish my Python coding training.</strong> Not necessarily because I need it, but it energizes me to learn something that is hard. It helps me be more creative and multi-dimensional.</li>
<li><strong>Celebrate more with my team.</strong> They are simply awesome. I am very blessed to work with such smart and compassionate people. And, we should take more time to celebrate the amazing things we&#x2019;re doing for our people and our business.</li>
<li><strong>Family. Family. Family.</strong> Enough said.</li>
</ol>
<p>In honor of my mom, who was a teacher, I&#x2019;m going to close with a quote from a beloved American author, Mark Twain.</p>
<p><em>&#x201C;Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn&#x2019;t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.&#x201D; </em></p>
<p>What sets YOUR soul on fire? I hope you are inspired to boldly chase what you are passionate about in 2017. Best wishes for an extraordinary new year.</p>
