3 Lessons I (re)learned this 2021.

In this post, I crunch key lessons I learned and relearned in the 12 months of 2021 into one blog post. There are 21 of them, but for the sake of time and attention span, I'll share three here:

1. Nothing matters when your health is compromised:?

I once read in a book that sound health is the foundation of success and happiness in life. It didn’t make sense until this year. Please drink water, take breaks and prioritise sleep. It’s the barest minimum you can do for your body. It’s also cheaper to live healthy than fall spend money on the cost of being unhealthy. Take care of yourself. Find interesting ways to exercise, it could be dancing, taking your pets on walks… it’s up to you.

2. The goal is growth, not perfection:

I was not active on social media a lot this year but every single day, in one way or the other I did something that helped me grow even when it didn’t look like it. So compound your efforts, do something everyday to bring you closer to your goals. Don’t overthink yourself out of trying. Try, take the risk, put in effort. Don’t underestimate the value of what you can achieve in a day (everyday for one year). There is power in a day.

3. Let your mind travel beyond your legs:

You may not be able to travel the world during this pandemic but it doesn’t stop you from seeing the world through other people’s eyes. Curate your feed to expand your mind, read books, watch videos, see the world from a perspective bigger than yours.
