What did I learn in 2008?
Finally, I was able to sit and plan my goals for 2009. This time I decided to use the guidance of the Your Best Year Yet book. I got the book as a gift from a friend and I was planning to read it at some point, so here I am.
Part of the planning process is reflecting on the achievements and failures of the past year. After acknowledging these two important aspects of our lives, comes the part where we ask ourselves what did we learn from all of this.
It was quite an interesting journey for me as the past year felt like a whole decade with all the ups and downs I went through.. So here’s my answer to the above question, I felt the need of sharing it and writing it twice will make sure I have learned my lesson! ;-)
- Have great faith in Allah. Whatever happens in my life happens for a reason, what I should be positive about is it happened for my OWN good!
- People are not what make things happen for you, they are merely a reason, so don’t count on them so much.
- ALWAYS have plan B! Yup! I’ve learned that alright!
- Live life to the fullest! Nothings worth worrying or stressing about.
- Family and friends are the most important part of my life, always have happy memories with them.
- Be spontaneous, it adds flavor to life.
- Work never ends! What matters the most is how I feel when I wake up in the morning.
- When things don’t work out the way you want, it’s okay… You have every right to feel upset.. just for a little while, then move on to something that cheers you up. ;-)
- Always add something to your knowledge and constantly have an open mind to learn new things.
- Helping others is the greatest gift ever.
- Thoughtful gestures are ALWAYS sweet.
- BE THERE WHEN NEEDED!
