Today, I took some time reflecting on my year and, more specifically, the things that went well and badly. It's been a challenge, and looking back on a few situations, I'm n't yet quite certain how I managed to pull it all together, but I did, for the most part. It hasn't all been difficult, though; some truly wonderful things have occurred, some of which I personally brought into being, and I'm proud of that. That in and of itself has been a really wonderful aspect of my year—stepping outside of my comfort zone, thinking creatively, working incredibly hard, and making something happen.
I currently feel that the year was a good one overall . I frequently discuss accepting responsibility for one's actions, exerting effort and willpower, getting up and moving forward even when it may be challenging to do so.
I also emphasise doing uncomfortable things, or stepping outside one's comfort zone, even when doing so exposes one to dangers, failure risk included. It's what I tend to do though, because it's outside of the established lines, out of the box we're inside of, where something great may be...we'll not know if we don't look, or try.
Thinking outside the box, stepping outside my comfort zone, and actively seeking new and better thoughts or attitudes, thereby creating new concepts, is something I learned a long time ago and recommend to those I mentor in the hopes that they will do the same. It has great value and has never let me down. Sure, it has stretched me a little, but in the process of being pushed and pulled, I think I've discovered hidden reserves within myself. It is this that pushes me into uncomfortable situations, thoughts, and attitudes and propels me forward. I've made significant changes in my life over the last few years, with mixed results. I say mixed, but that doesn't always mean good or bad; life isn't always that black and white. There are various shades of black and white, as well as various degrees of good or bad... Many of them have happened to me.
Looking back, I can see better ways I could have done things that would have resulted in better results, but I can't change what happened, only what happens now and in the future...and I will. Understanding the past and applying it to the present for a better future is how I work best. Viewing my last year through different lenses is both healthy and beneficial, as well as terrifying at times.
And now i am gonna hail new year with a new set of resolutions,committments,plans and prays for those.Let’s pray together that this year confers upon us peace ,prosperity and discoveries❤️
🥳 happy new year from my side🌺
Have you become uncomfortable in the last year? Have you ever felt the need to dig deep, to find something more, and to use that to get you through or around a major life obstacle? Have you faced adversity and triumphed, lost, or tied? Let me know if you're comfortable talking about it in the comments section.
