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.

1 年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!

1 年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.
