Looking back and looking ahead

Meliah and I laid out a vision of what we wanted to achieve and accomplish in 2021.  We set our goals and, at the end of December, we looked back upon those goals and measured our success.  All in all, we had a GREAT year.  Was it perfect, no, but we did very well.  We accomplished almost everything we wrote down.  We discussed what didn’t work, if our goals made sense, what we can do to better or differently to reach any goals we might have missed, and, at the end, we celebrated our successes…both big and small. 

One of the things that we learned and will start embracing more, is to celebrate the small goals.  Yes, hitting the major goals are awesome, but we need to take time to celebrate all achievements no matter how seemingly small and insignificant.  After all, it is these little accomplishments that add up to helping us reach our big goals.  It was an important lesson and it is one that we will now start doing every month. 

As we watched the last few minutes of 2021 pass into history and welcomed a fresh new year, I feel revitalized.  I had a hard time sleeping as I was chomping at the bit ready to hit the ground running.  Meliah and I have written down our goals for the year and we can’t wait to surpass even our expectations. 

Welcome to this new year, folks.  Embrace the new beginning.  It is going to be amazing!
