Another year has passed.
Another year has passed, and I find myself sitting on my bed, reflecting on everything that has happened this year and how it was supposed to end. My New Year’s resolutions remain untouched. There were so many things I wanted to accomplish: go on a trip, volunteer, commit to writing, go to the gym, and take care of my skincare routine.
I know there are many people who feel the same way — wondering how another year has gone by without significant change.
We often think we haven’t done anything productive or that nothing new has occurred, just the same old stories repeating. However, we tend to overlook the surprising events, both happy and sad, that can teach us valuable lessons.
Even if we don’t realize it, a lot happens each year, and more is yet to come. Every year brings unexpected opportunities. While you may not have grown professionally, you have likely gained mental growth, as every moment has something to teach us. We have experienced the passage of time and met different types of people along the way.
Think about someone you met this year with whom you shared good moments; reflecting on that will surely lift your spirits. Many positive things happened this year, too, but we often focus solely on our unachieved resolutions, ignoring those unexpected interactions, moments, and new experiences.
So, even if this year didn’t meet your expectations, remember that there is much more to come.
THANKS!!
