2016 good or bad?

It was the same as 2015, 1912, 1624, and it will be the same as 2017, 2018, 2019 and on.

A collection of 365 times 24 hours.

Each year is always the same.

The difference is what we make of those 365 days, how we react to events that we do not control and the mindset we choose.

2016 was it worse or better than another year? It’s all a choice and it is all a question of perspective.

Enjoy 2017 and choose the outcome you want.

It’s then up to all of us to make that choice a reality. It won’t be determined by votes cast in an election or how many celebrities will die or what others do or say.

It will be determined by ourselves as that is the only thing we control.

Happy New Year.

New Year’s Eve

As another year draws to a close, it is a good time to reflect on what happened over the last 12 months.

Where do you get to with your goals and targets for 2015? What could you do better next year? What more could you do?

Equally, what did you learn from things that might not have happened the way you wanted them too?

The best thing is another year of the journey has passed and just reflect on all the amazing things that happened for you in 2015, the places you went to, the people you met, the fun times you had with your friends, family and all of the happiness.

Often, we look at the things we didn’t do, the regrets, the things that went wrong.

None of those matter, apart from the lessons learnt.

If you didn’t do all the things you wanted to, guess what? There is the whole of 2016 to do them.

I’ve had an amazing 2015, I hope you all have had too. I am super excited for 2016, Happy New Year to all.
