We are done with 2016 and have a whole new year to look forward to.
2016 was pretty good to me most of the time. I was blessed with some great opportunities with great people who I will never ever forget. Highlight of 2016 has to be travelling around Asia, I’m never going to forget the beautiful people and places I got to explore and now have a serious holiday bug! It did however have its ups and downs just like most years for most of us. After all we have 365 days a year to play with and If it was plain sailing it would probably be quite boring! Thankfully i got through the low and hard times (we all have them) with the support of my family and friends, so thank you to everyone who stood by me. Whatever I went through in 2016, good or bad, has been a lesson and after it all I’ve come out stronger! I’m a strong believer in the quote, ‘what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger!’
2016 may not have been a good year for you, you may have struggled, lost a loved one, had some hard times financially, mentally…but if you are still here and reading this, YOU MADE IT. You ARE strong enough to handle anything that comes your way, whether you did it alone or with the support of your friends and family. All these challenges we face are a test and If it doesn’t kill you, you gotta learn from them and ensure that you nail them in 2017. Try not to only remember the bad times when reflecting on last year but all the happy times which can easily be forgotten in hard times.
My goals for 2017 is to experience new things, travel more and tick a few more things on my bucket list. There is still so much to do and see in the World.
After all that, I want to wish everyone a Happy New Year and all the best for 2017! We have another 365 days to make a change, make great memories and dreams come true and most of all be happy.
