The last 11 days was the only time in 2024 I was not posting regularly on social media.
I am grateful for the break.
The entire family of 12 gathered from California and Australia in Singapore to go on a great family trip to Sri Lanka.
We had never done this before. We were apprehensive initially. But we had a blast.
The commonality was family.
I will sum up 2024 as this - focussing on self and family.
I did it every day in 2024.
It may seem self centered, perhaps even lazy, taking the feet from the fast moving escalator of career and professional growth.
I needed the realignment to self and family in 2024.
When you are focussing out on the outside world, it is not necessarily healthy or positive.
You need to run your own race, not the race others are running.
Focussing within and on what matters to you is real self growth.
I was in equilibrium, happy and contented.
Not every day, of course. On the days I wasn't, I made the choice to accept how I feel, be kind to myself, giving myself time to embrace my thoughts and feelings to heal.
Importantly, I learn, or am still learning gratitude.
I leaned on trusted friends when I needed the support and strength to keep going.
Hope. Faith. Love.
For that, 2024 was a good year.
