So we’re getting to another year and it’s time for another reflection and ideas on how to best continue to be our best selves in 2024. First of all I’m hoping every one had a good year in 2023 and for the ones who didn’t, up and downs are all part of the process but what is important is how we are able to bounce back from them and the lessons that were taken. For me personally this year was a huge adjustment year when it came to my work life, social life and everything else. There were some times in which it was hard to but those circumstances are there to challenge us and push us to be better no matter what. Another thing that was key in 2023 is doing our best with the cards we are given because it could always be worse.
A lot of times we are non appreciative in the moment and don’t give a second thought on appreciating what we have in front of us because we are so concerned with what we don’t have. The book the power of now had a quote that says “you’re stressed because you are here but want to be there”. There comes a time where staying in the moment becomes very hard because we are too consumed on what the future will hold or what can happen when there are a lot of things already happening here. The last thing I want to touch on is the power of freedom and how important it is. A lot of us have some form of freedom even if it may not be the kind of freedom we want but everyone has some form of control on their lives and the decisions they make.
One powerful quote I always stick by is “nothing can happen in our lives without our permission”. Even though part of this may not be true for everyone, as human beings there are parts of our lives that no one else can control no matter what and we have to realize that. We have to stop giving our power to others and not let their actions have such an impact on our lives that we get affected. In 2024 I’m hoping we all find some kind of freedom because it is different for everyone. I’m hoping we’re able to find purpose in life. There are times when each of us may sit down and wonder what the heck am I doing or where am I going and that is okay.
The in between stages are essential to taking the steps necessary. I’m also hoping we are able to get some kind of peace because real wealth is peace of mind. There comes a time in life where we just want to be around the right people, don’t want to be around any drama or stress and just want things that make us happy. I’m hoping for more of that in 2024 and for the ones who have been lacking that, I’m praying you’re able to come across it too. I just want to wish everyone a happy new year and hope we’re able to make the most of every moment.
