We never know quite what a new year will bring, but I think 2021 is stepping more into the unknown as any.
When I started my business in 2010 I had high hopes of a future that brought abundance and freedom. With hindsight I guess those goals held a certain amount of naivety.
The flash car is non existent, yet having excited the corporate world I no longer feel inadequate because my car isn’t the latest model, high powered and with private plates. My car is a nice colour, reliable and delivers me safely to where I want to be.
I still have to watch every penny. Self employment has been more challenging than I ever imaged, and no one could have predicted the impact a virus could have had like this year. Instead I value the extra time I get to spend with my husband and two beloved dogs. I schedule my appointments to give me time to have a leisurely walk with them in a morning. I also have time to spend on my creative activities.
2020 has taught many of us to value the more simple things in life.
People have already started to ask me what’s the point in setting goals this year as we don’t know what this virus will throw at us next. But I always say “YES”. Now is exactly the best time. But those goals can be about valuing the simple things, how you connect with more people or about getting out into the fresh air rather than joining a gym. Maybe it’s about making the effort to shop locally and support small businesses.
Consider a goal around how you appreciate the smaller things in life. Appreciating what you have rather than always striving for something better can make you a happier person.
