As we step into the first chapter of 2024, I'm filled with excitement and anticipation for the adventures that lie ahead. Whether it's 2023A or 2024, I believe this year is a blank canvas waiting to be painted with moments of joy, inspiration, rejuvenation, growth, and discovery!
To New Beginnings: Growth & Learning
Let's kick off the year with a spirit of renewal and endless possibilities. Just like this quote by Rainer Maria Rilke: "And now we welcome the new year. Full of things that have never been."
So, what are your aspirations for 2024? If you haven't yet, you can get some inspiration from this poll - What Do You Want to Achieve in 2024?
My biggest aspiration is to upscale my skills and believe in myself. It's high time to believe in achieving what I've planned to do in 2024. I'm excited to embark on a journey of continuous learning and personal growth.
I've blogged a little bit about what I want to do in 2024 on this blog post. When the time is right, I shall blog more about it.
Reacting vs Responding: A New Year's Perspective
There is one thing that I want to challenge myself to do. In 2024, I want to respond more and react less when situations arise.
Reacting is instinctual, often influenced by emotions and immediate circumstances. It's like a reflex, quick and automatic, a knee-jerk response to situations.
Responding is thoughtful, measured, and considers the bigger picture. It's a conscious choice, more deliberate and involves a pause, a consideration of options, and a thoughtful choice.
The diagram above sums up the differences really well.
Here's to a year of mindful responses and more #RespondNotReact !
Cheers to 2024
Here's to new friendships, new challenges, and new victories! May this year be a tapestry of beautiful moments woven together. Have a fantastic year filled with positivity, growth, and unforgettable moments of joy and success!
