I had a revelation this week.
I figured out a lot. almost like a little refresh. a small reset.
Why wait until the New Year to set goals and make plans when you can just start now?
I find that when it comes to restarting (hitting the refresh button) that we wait until some big event or a sign when in reality, we have to take the reigns of our own lives and just start right away. Why wait until tomorrow to make a change?
It’s gonna turn regretful in an instant if we just leave life to pass us by. Waiting for something big to come to us. We have to take hold of ourselves, work hard, and put in the effort to make that change. I always think that the most success is going to go to those who put in the work to achieve that happiness level and I still think I’m right on that. They didn’t let worry or challenges get in their way. They continued to strive for that goal despite the path not being completely seamless.
I’ve thought about this for a bit and seriously ever since school started I’ve been in a slump. I feel like I am that person. That person waiting for something to come. University is a shift. I’ve complained to my mom a lot (sorry mom) and I haven’t been able to see a lot of positives. which is weird for me. But this week something shifted. I know my path. I feel like I’m almost at that feeling that is going to relieve me.
That’s why as the holidays are approaching, I realize I’ll get the opportunity to reflect a lot. and reset. but I don’t want to wait until the clock hits twelve for the “new me” to start. I want to start now. Focus on me. Put my head down. Do the work. And for all the success to come, I know it’s going to be worth it. I just have to trust it.
As the new year comes closer, the goals I want to set are part of growing and letting myself just be me and I don’t necessarily want to make some big change, but shift things that focus on my values, who I want to be, and the best way that is going to let me succeed and reach the happiness level I want. I encourage you all when making goals, to not set massive goals that will have you unmotivated in an instant but small goals that will build the bigger picture for you in the long run.
As I am writing this, it is currently the first snowfall of winter and now I know today is going to be a good day.
STAY KIND:)
