Dec 11 - Has it been a banner or a bust year? As you reflect on 2024, are you pleased with how it has played out or disappointed? Have you gained insights from challenges that helped you leap ahead, or did you allow these challenges to set you back? Did you achieve some of your goals, yet you are so focused on what was not accomplished that you cannot appreciate what you did succeed at doing? Additionally, did you accomplish some things that were not even a part of your goals or plan, and yet you have benefited greatly from these accomplishments?
In any moment along the journey towards success, there will be peaks and there will be valleys. Your greatest asset in either case is your attitude and how you embrace both the highs and the lows. If you allow the lows to overshadow your highs, then you may be limiting just how far you could really go. If accomplishing everything is your only measure of success, you are missing the beauty of all that you have accomplished along the way.
Take an MM&I Moment to awaken to how much you have achieved and accomplished over this past year. What have you accomplished that you would have never imagined possible 5 years ago? What have you accomplished that has been a reoccurring goal, and you finally made it happen this year? What is something you accomplished that was not even on your radar at the beginning of this year? What is something you experienced this year that gave you great insight or that you learned a great deal from that is now preparing you for even greater success? What is a small success you have realized that could help you realize even greater success towards what you are striving to achieve? It is easy to be hard on oneself, only focusing on what didn’t get accomplished or done. Your greatest opportunities lie in what you have accomplished and learned. Success is an inner wisdom, not a goal.
