3 Mistakes I made in 2019 and won't repeat in 2020

2019 has been a wonderful year not because I earned better or won professional award, it's because I had more opportunities and learning than I ever imagined in my life. It's been wonderful because I worked on my skills and learnt new methods for growth in career & personal life. Apart from the good, I made a few mistakes too which I would like to rectify in 2020. Hope you too may learn something out of my mistakes.

1. I spoiled my own birthday by not celebrating it considering that some other people on earth are devoid of happiness and hence I too have no right to celebrate. I somehow wanted them to be happy before I feel good. But now I believe that if I am not happy, I can't keep others happy. So, I will strive my best to stay happy and calm everyday so that I can distribute the same to others.

2. I delayed my own progress by being in comfort zone for which I will have to start over again in 2020. I got an amazing opportunity to develop an interesting training program but I stopped in between because I got at ease with my last project. It is true that I should have focused on it and I did but the extra time available was spent in relaxing / watching web series which I would not like to pursue until I achieve my goals. 2020 will certainly be year of massive achievements and progress to encash the opportunities than wasting time on unproductive activities.

3. Take it easy attitude - I admit my mistake that I took things for granted but I understand that nothing remains permanent, neither happiness nor sorrows. I have seen both - massive success and hardship in the same year but when I was experiencing either I believed it would remain permanent but none did. In year 2020, I will be more careful about existence of experiences and situations. I will try to remain calm in both the situations so that none dominates me.
