There are certain goals I had set out for myself at the beginning of the year and as the year is coming to an end, I realize that more likely than not, I would not be achieving those goals. However, when I look at the bigger picture and all I was able to accomplish, I can’t help but to be grateful, pat myself on the back and thank God.
Yes, I may have recently gained a pound or 3 but overall, I lost 10!
Yes, sales on my website may have been very slow at the end of the year, but overall, this was my best year yet!
No, I did not save the amount of money I had planned to but overall, I saved the most I have ever saved!
No, I did not visit all the countries i had wanted to visit but damn straight I visited cities and a continent I had never been to!
Revisit your goals before the year comes to an end and see if there is any chance you can make a last minute sprint to achieve them. However, do not come and kill yourself because you feel as though your year would be a complete failure if said goals are not achieved.
I do believe in hard work, pushing myself (not to exhaustion), consistency, creativity, preparation, humility and kindness. I believe that all these qualities wrapped together would take you to whatever levels you wish to reach in life but we must pay attention to our bodies, always!
