An End of Year Reflection on What we often Forget

Sometimes we forget to look at what's already been done.

We rush toward the next task, the next idea, the next version of ourselves, as if life were a never-ending to-do list with very small checkboxes.

But the end of a year has a quiet way of tapping us on the shoulder.

“Look back,” it whispers. “See what you’ve built, almost without noticing.”

Maybe you even outgrew them and wandered into new territories without fanfare.

That gentle sense of completion...

that’s the real treat.

And then comes the exciting part: shaping what’s next.

Not just drifting in the direction life pushes…

but choosing, even a little, where you’d like to grow.

A small shift here, a conscious choice there and suddenly the new year feels full of possibility ✨
