What new thing have you learnt about yourself this past year?

I asked a few people this question recently. And the answers were fascinating.?

“Resilience. I probably had the hardest year I’ve ever had in my career, but with that I also learned I could take a lot more than I thought I could.”

“Work the problem. Some challenges just take a long time and can be much harder. But keep working the problem, keep working it. There’s always a solution.”

“My strength. I learned to rely more on my inner strength. I can’t control those around me and how they act, but I can certainly control my own mindset and how I choose to respond.”

And me personally? Intentionality. I realised that during the past year, I've focused on my work with a sense of purpose, but coasted in my personal life, just floating through on a cloud of inertia. I don't want to look back a few years from now and think I coasted through life. In all parts of my life, I want to invest intentionally, and with purpose.

I've learned that there are things that deplete us, and things than replenish us. I've been too focused on the things that deplete me, and I need to go out seeking for more things that will leave me feeling replete. Right now, it looks like a weekly street dance class!

That I love to learn even if it’s just for the sake of learning. 2023 was challenging in a good way. It gave me an opportunity to reshape myself which involved unlearning a few things and learning new things.
