“It is always important to know when something has reached its end. Closing circles, shutting doors, finishing chapters, it doesn’t matter what we call it; what matters is to leave in the past those moments in life that are over. Slowly, I began to realize that I could not go back and force things to be as they once were.”

― Paulo Coelho, The Zahir

I. The Power of Letting Go

Each day is a unique opportunity to unpack and rearrange our emotional luggage.

Here are 5 things we should consider leaving behind in 2021 . . .

  1. Not clearly communicating your needs.

  2. Pressing people to change who don't want to.

  3. Overcommitting to things you don't want to do.

  4. Emotionally draining friendships and relationships.

  5. Reacting in the moment versus taking a step back to respond.

II. Life is Growth

The person you are right now is not the person you were . . .

  • 10 years ago, 10 months ago, 10 weeks ago, 10 days ago, 10 seconds ago . . .

You are a work in progress. 

You are learning and growing, healing and evolving.

Every second / of every minute / of every day.

“You are allowed to be both a masterpiece and a work in progress, simultaneously.”

The Last Words…

“If you wrote a book for each day of the year that has passed. And then reread it on New Year’s Eve, what things would you change, what things would you cherish. Take the things that are cherished and vow to focus more on that in the coming New Year.”
