2022 eh? Another year gone? A "New Year" it is and here we are on Day 2, yet it all still feels the same. I never understood all this hype just as we enter new year. Maybe it's not the new year itself? Maybe it's because of the occasion, events, a time or day that is full of togetherness among friends and family. Well, can't we do all of this without having to wait for a whole damn year? Why not make plans for a get together in the middle of the year? Make diet changes, get fit, fix that terrible sleep routine, the list goes on.
We make many promises to ourselves and also to the ones around us this time of the year, but the majority of those promises aren't kept or simply just done halfway. Now, we're not perfect, we make mistakes, we run out of motivation quick, we're all flawed to an extent in many aspects of our lives. That is why we need to make changes on the go, we need to adapt, we need to act on things fast. Who knows how much time we have in our hands? No one can guarantee you tomorrow, make changes now, create memories worth remembering with the ones who matter, do make sure to focus on the little things. Work and make progress towards a life worth living, a life worth remembering, don't keep on waiting for tomorrow or another year. Yes, setting your life up that way, your own way, is tough, a way which still might not be acceptable in our so called "society" where they all want engineers and doctors only. Especially if you're in a country where people question diversification and are simply scared of change, fearing something they don't understand, something they don't even want to understand.
This year I won't be doing anything differently, just like any other year. I simply have some older goals that I've brought with me to this "New Year" the plans being exactly the same as last years. As long as there is progress, I'm with it, slow and steady is good enough for me, because at this point of life I've just simply learnt to let go of some things. Things that I have very little control of, all I can do is prep a plan and just hope for the best, the rest is simply out of my reach and power. While also keeping in mind this little line "hope for the best and prepare for the worst" it's something the last few years have molded me into believing and trusting in. I do have faith in the process, in my abilities and I would say I also hold a sufficient amount of patience as well. But "luck" has never been on my side, there's almost no such thing as luck in my life, never good, sometimes bad. And luck is important you know, no matter how skilled, hard working or prepared you are, luck plays a huge role in our lives. Luck never showed up when I was in dire need of it, especially in very crucial and life changing moments. Stages in life for which I've worked and invested in for countless years to reach, looking for that one break, maybe an ample amount of luck for once, NON.
YET, here I am, I've changed my route once more, adapted to the flow of the waves, just letting my ship sail out there, while I make tiny adjustments to simply keep it in line. OR maybe life is simply done with all the sculpting and chiseling? Maybe life has finally decided to melt me into liquid state, like water? Formless, ready to take on any shape, hurdles, choosing to either flow or crash. As the great Bruce Lee once said "BE WATER MY FRIEND"
For 2022 I will try to keep on living my life as I was in 2021 I guess, the last two months of 2021 have truly been kind. I will be keeping my needs and wants to a bare minimum, focusing more on what I have. Giving more time to my family is surely going to be a top priority as always, making sure we're all doing well, living a healthy and happy life. I am truly fine with where life is right now and how its progressing, no complaints. Yet, I surely will be trying to make more memories worth remembering with the ones around me, some travelling, bit of exploring here and there. The FIFA World Cup, that's a huge one to keep in mind for this year, can't believe it's already been 4 years since the last World Cup, feels like it's barely been like two years or something. Time surely is flying, especially due to this Covid and pandemic situation I guess. I surely don't want anymore of these lockdowns and viruses roaming around terrorizing people, enough is enough, we all are in dire need of some stability and "freedom" this year.
I am hoping for the best, but I can't say that I'm not prepped for the worst either haha. Let's see where this "New Year" takes us 鈽笍 cheers guys 馃 much love 鈾ワ笍
