Hello friends,

When was the last time you asked yourself,

“If money and time wasn’t a problem, what would you be doing in life instead?”

For me, I would love to dedicate my whole life to formal education. I love learning and I love attending lectures, studying, making notes and most important of all feeling like my mind is expanding. I understand now why the grown ups used to say “enjoy it now - working life is harder”.

I think there are opportunities to learn and grow through work experience, but I have always felt very rushed trying to balance between the physical and theory. I am often left feeling dissatisfied due to the holes in my knowledge that I haven’t had the time to fill before moving onto the next project.

Some goals I’d like to focus on this year is to

- be intentional; choosing to invest my energy correctly and to slow down at the same time so that I do not feel too tired to enjoy the things that matter most to me

- learn more; the past year I’ve started reading again and I found that in doing so helped me feel in control of my own growth as opposed to relying on validation from others. It also made me feel less stagnant particularly during periods when work is repetitive.

- be creative; I’ve really let this one go because work can be all so consuming.
