This year, I’ve set a loose theme for myself of “Rebuild, Learn, Improve”. I feel that I was really taken by surprise in 2020; I had set so many goals and plans for myself and they didn’t work out. This year, I want to be more adaptable and still be able to be productive even when things don’t work out to the letter and situations aren’t what I expected them to be.
Something I’m trying to learn is that you can work until you break, but the universe (or God or fate, or karma) still doesn’t owe you anything. The universe won’t reward your hard work, but it won’t put obstacles in your way deliberately either. For the past few years, I’ve felt like something (the universe, God, etc.) doesn’t want me to succeed. I also know that that’s ludicrous, and I need to believe that. The only thing these thoughts are doing is holding me back and making me think negatively. Things won’t always go well. Sometimes they’ll outright fail. And sometimes, it’s not anyone’s fault, not even the universe’s.
So to guide me on the road upwards, I’m hoping this theme will keep me on the path and remind me to move forwards.
Rebuild
I want to rebuild the routines in my life so that I have the energy and mental stability to do the things I want to do.
I want to rebuild my self confidence so that I can present the best version of myself.
Learn
I love learning and studying. This year, I’m itching to do more training courses, and I’m actually planning to go to college to retrain as a nurse!
I want to learn more about myself so that I can have a better relationship with myself.
Improve
This goes along with learning and rebuilding. I want to improve myself, feel more satisfied with all aspects of my life, and push towards greater things that will ultimately make me happier, even if the journey there is tough and uncomfortable.
What are your themes for 2021?
