When we note down something about today, or work a little on our project, it gives us some reference in future on what we did, and who we were.
Yes, most days are not extraordinary, and maybe, you might feel that there is nothing to say or achieve. You might be right, and yet, the future you will thank you for having done a little to move forward.
It is the final day of the year, yet if it’s not the final day of your life, it ought to have a different meaning. The passing of the year is symbolic, and need not signal the end of anything, unless it was the end of a school term.
For your projects, each needs to end when it needs to, not when the calendar year ends. I wish you a joyous 2023, and strength to continue on your journey. This is not the end.
It is when you are at a farm that you truly appreciate the morning. As the cocks crow to signal a new day, and darkness makes way for a new day, you rise with renewed hope.
Life is never guaranteed to us, and what we plan may not materialize. However, with daybreak, while we cannot foresee the future, we can literally see better than we could at night. We can set ourselves up to make the changes we want.
Good morning!
Even before we were born, there were people fighting our battles, in part or whole. Initially, it’s your immediate family, then it extends to friends and colleagues. You might not know it, but they’ve defended you where you’re not present.
As we take a bit of time out to reflect on the year, it might be time to check in with your warriors and say: “Thank you.”
The year is almost over. The journey, however, hopefully continues. If the journey continues, the old African proverb holds: “If you want to go fast, go alone. But if you want to go far, go as a team.”
There are some things like time, distance and the like that are always fixed. It helps to ground us, and to create the basis from which we operate.
Such is faith and the principles laid down centuries ago. They act as compasses to navigate life. And it might be costly to simply ignore the collective wisdom of those who came before us.
