By Pierce Jones –
As the year comes to a close, it’s a great time to look back on this year and see all you have accomplished.
Is it what you had in mind?
Did you accomplish the goals and strive to get better in the areas that you wanted to work on?
We often get caught in the constant thinking of the future and what needs to be done next when at times, it can be valuable to step back and look at the past for growth reasons. Find what worked well and continue on with that, or see if you can edit whatever may need continued growth.
It’s okay to have missed some goals or to have not made some of the changes you were looking to make, but being able to reflect and understand how to change that going forward can be vital for you and your future.
What is not okay is just sitting in the mud and spinning your tires, hoping to find the change and become unstuck from a situation or problem. Of course, not everything goes as planned and speed bumps always occur. So, know how certain obstacles could affect you going forward, and maybe even be eliminated, by looking back on this past year’s hurdles. If you can find a way to set your path and guide it in such a manner as to avoid what you already know could happen, then you’re doing yourself a favor, instead of trying to iron it out when it does occur.
As I have already discussed in other blog posts from this year, it’s now time to set the goals for both short and long-term moving into the new year. Find reachable ones and then ones that seem unattainable in order to push yourself and create the mold that you want to be and grow into.
I wish everyone a happy holiday season and a very Happy New Year as we’re ready to get after it and watch the immense growth that will be created in 2023!
