The Year That Defined Me
If I had to pick just one word to capture the rollercoaster of emotions, challenges, and triumphs that defined my journey this year, it would undoubtedly be "RESILIENT." Intrigued? Let's dive into why this word holds so much weight for me.
This year demanded tough decisions regarding my future and the life I envisioned. I found strength in setting boundaries and prioritizing self-care, even when it meant straying from my meticulously laid-out plans. Accepting that some doors closed to open up space for better opportunities proved to be a hurdle in itself. Behind my smiles and apparent happiness, I fought silent battles—struggles that, like yours, often remain unseen.
I uttered "yes" to stepping outside my comfort zone, embracing vulnerability, navigating transitions, pursuing my purpose, and committing to discipline and delayed gratification. If "trust the process" had a spokesperson, I'd gladly be the poster child... or so I'd like to think!
Reflecting on it all, this year served as a defining chapter filled with reward and pain, a beautiful mess that tested my faith and character. To those who supported me, purchased my book, and embraced my journey, thank you from the depths of my heart.
As I look ahead to the coming year, I've already allocated time for introspection. Each year, I set themes, and for the next, I'm focusing on Discipline, Financial Wholeness, and Health. I encourage you to examine your aspirations and establish clear intentions and goals for the upcoming year. Check out my goal-setting tips to guide you on this journey:
Mix Short and Long-Term Goals: Blend your immediate and future aspirations and outline monthly objectives.
Be Kind to Yourself: Life throws curveballs, and it's okay. Keep your goals visible, managing them to suit your unique circumstances.
Set Realistic Goals: Approach your objectives with mindfulness, setting intentions that align with your capabilities and define who you are.
Celebrate Small Wins: Every step counts, so don't forget to revel in the victories along the way.
Monthly check-ins have become my compass, helping me navigate progress, identify roadblocks, and strategize for success in each focal area.
Stepping outside my comfort zone has never been my strong point, but I'm committed to letting you in a bit more. Expect more engaging, uplifting content that aims to inspire each of you to be your best self. Stay tuned for the exciting things I have in store for the upcoming year.
Let's celebrate new beginnings as we wrap up this year, filled with love, prosperity, laughter, curiosity, and joy. Cheers to a Happy New Year!
