2021 was the year of rock. According to Spotify, my top 4 songs this year have been by Nickelback. I can’t fathom how people hate Nickelback. Anyways, let’s wrap up 2021. Full disclosure, I bulleted the points for this months on 21st September 2021 whilst doing a quarantine workout.
My mistake last year was setting high expectations for 2021 which started to falter as the months passed. I’ve experienced the highest of the highs and lowest of the lows.
A few things I learned this year:
- It’s okay to suck at some things and make mistakes. Mistakes move us forward.
- Learning how to communicate efficiently is more important for your business than anything else.
- The one thing certain in life is death.
- The appearance game can never be won.
- And finally, having physical strength will literally save your life.
A little reflection on the personal front.
The positives:
- I finally got this website up and running. I had been dragging my feet for over a year.
- I am nearly back to my pre-pandemic weight lifting strength.
- I have clarity for 2 projects that I wish to work on in the first Qtr of 2022. More details coming soon.
The negatives:
- I bid my final goodbye on a FaceTime call to someone I loved. It just sucks that I could not be there for her and for my family in person, but as the french say “c’est la vie”. Thank you for everything over the past 15 years Behn.
- I missed my cousins getting married because of the border closures (again). Whilst I could not attend their once in a lifetime(maybe) event, I can’t wait to meet them in person hopefully in 2022 or in 2023.
Keeping my expectations low for 2022, I’ll go out and give it my all every day. I’m just getting started. Let’s go!!
