It's a new year and I'm once again immersed in contemplation about what I want this year to look like and the myriad possibilities that lie ahead. For me, the turning of the year often serves as a pivotal moment for reflection and goal-setting, prompting me to ask myself what I want to achieve in the coming months. I've often thought that the first step to getting what you want is knowing what you want. This year I've been digging a bit more deeply into my desires, aspirations, and even my fears.
The uncertainty of not knowing exactly where I want to be in 2025 has weighed on me more than I anticipated. Frankly, it's causing me a tad bit of angst! In the past, I've had a strong sense of direction. I would set my course with determination, unwavering in my pursuit of what I desired. Yet, this year the pages of my journal, that are usually filled with goals by now, remain blank. I find myself standing at a crossroads, contemplating possibilities.
To navigate this unsettling phase, I've decided to embark on an unconventional journey this year—an endeavor that is proving to be quite uncomfortable in itself. This year, I’m going to try expanding my aperture, metaphorically speaking. My "goal" is to broaden my perspective by allowing myself to explore new avenues and opportunities, even those that I may not have previously considered. After all, how can I know what I truly want when the possibilities are unclear and the future seems shrouded in uncertainty?
This year I am actively seeking out experiences, ideas, and insights that could illuminate the path ahead. With luck, I hope to uncover hidden passions and aspirations that may have been buried under the weight of routine and predictability.
Ultimately, this process of expanding my view is not merely about identifying goals; it is about fostering a deeper understanding of myself and what truly resonates with me. While I'm a tad apprehensive about where this exploration will lead, I'm determined to embrace the journey! As I peel back the layers of uncertainty, I trust that I will gradually reveal a clearer vision of what lies ahead, enabling me to set my course with renewed confidence and purpose.
Here we go!
