Happy New Year!
First off, I have to address the fact that I disappeared for a good 5 months.
I do apologise for that, it was a mixture of my laziness and my mindset at the time- but more on that in the next post.
So 2016, damn. I still can't comprehend how fast time is flying. Yesterday I could say I was a long way from turning 21... today, I can say I'm 21 next year, which is terrifying. Today made me realise that I'm actually getting older and I should probably get on with my life.
2015 was undeniably a hard year, and to be honest, so was the previous year, and the year before that. There are three words I would use to describe these past couple years:
wallowing, watching and waiting.
Wallowing in self pity, in pain and a dark place. I was stuck there instead of getting out and progressing. Watching everyone I knew move on with their lives, hustling hard, getting to places, and reaching milestones after milestones. I was happy and cheering for them, but I wasn't putting my own aspirations into action. And I felt like I was waiting for something to happen. I would tell myself "my time will come", and just...wait.
I'm referring to myself a lot in this post as this is essentially my reflection, however, I know I'm not the only one who felt this way last year. If this is you, well here's what I had to tell myself repeatedly this morning: 'stop being lazy, don't be scared, just.do.it.'
I could throw so many quotes in here to motivate you and say all these encouraging things but really, there's no need. You know what you want, so just do it. Just hustle quietly and let your success be your noise. I've learnt that it takes a lot of trial and error to finally get to the right mindset.
The right mindset is one that is determined achieve their goals, through ups and down.
Ah, so much is coming...I'm excited.
Good luck everyone,
