Farewell 2021 - Year of the Ox

 

Hi there,

Year of the Ox was filled with expectation, stress, and uncertainty. Confusion as well as optimism. Despite the pandemic, investment failures, and a handful of broken relationships, the year was and is ending as a year full of hope.

I don’t know how it is to you, but it’s more than just a simple goodbye, somewhat it feels like a turning point for me and those who have been able to finish the year in good health, to see our families and friends, pay our bills, not missing meals, take time to take exercise, find a new job, start businesses, grow our relationships, make more money and even travel... deep down inside we understand that things mean a whole lot more to it did at the same time last year.

Everything happened exactly when it was meant to happen. Despite everything, we have persevered. And another chapter of my life is now complete.

I did not win or lose, but I know for sure that I grew. The updated version of me will now start a new chapter in years of the Tiger.

Sometimes I did feel like there are incomplete ends to many wishes, desires that fill your heart. But simultaneously, I realized that after the changes I went through, I am now are better equipped to proceed. Everything has its own timing, and whatever did not happen for me last year does not mean it will never happen. I can only control my own reaction, what lessons I learn, and what changes I want to make for myself. And anything is possible.

This chapter is now closing, and we did our part.

I too started the year with many goals. To be frank, many I wasn’t mentally and emotionally prepared for but went for it anyway. The drawbacks, humps, and bumps along the journey helped me with my growth. Some goals took me by surprise, which helped change my perspective and many doors closed. Heart desires I have wished for many years happened this year, and now I am ready to close this chapter and open my arms to the next chapter in my life.
