As we prepare for New Years, it’s important to take time to ask yourself what lessons learned this past year. These lessons change your perspective on how you approach the up coming year and years to come. My sister and I had 3 “aha moments” which changed the way we looked at life.
Everything is relative. No one person will have the same opinion on what is beautiful, wealthy, skinny, style, etc. Everyone has their own perspective, so trying to meet everyone else ideals are impossible. Once I fully understood this it freed me from so many expectations.
What are we doing about it? There are times where we complain about something, yet never think of solutions or think of a new goal. Therefore we never move forward with it. When I begin to complain, I stop and ask myself “what am I doing about it?” If you don’t have a plan, either don’t talk about it anymore or start working on one. It’s important to be a person of action.
Be happy with what you can’t change and change what you can. We heard this in yoga class and it stayed with us. There are a lot of things we can’t change, like our body type, but there are several things we can improve on. The things we can control are where we should put our focus on. Learn to let go of what we can’t.
If you have any lessons you learned this year I would love to hear about them.
