Where were you a year ago?
Gary Bloomer | SHAKING THE TREE #164
How far have you come in the last year?
Twelve months can be a blink of an eye in the grand scheme of things, yet when invested wisely, a year can bring a lifetime of change.
A year ago, you were a different person from who you are today; you were facing different challenges, and probably harboring different dreams.
So, the question is: How far have you come?
Have you conquered a fear, achieved a long-held goal, or simply grown as an individual?
Perhaps you've changed jobs, or moved house, or ended an abusive relationship? Maybe you moved to a different country, went back to college, or got a major promotion? Maybe you've discovered a hidden talent, a passion you never knew existed.
But no matter what’s changed for you, it’s always worthwhile to look back at your accomplishments; taking a moment to reflect on the past year can be incredibly rewarding. It can remind us of what we’ve overcome, no matter how large or small, all of which can inspire us to keep moving forward.
So, as the end of the year approaches, step back and take a deep breath. Look back on the past year. Celebrate your victories, learn from your mistakes, and embrace the person you've become.
And as you look ahead, remember that the future is yours to shape.
As always, thanks for reading.
