I have always seen the New Year period is a time for reflection. Life, work, and my family had always been things to reflect upon. I often would resolve to change, but once the year started and I got back into my daily routines, all of that resolve to change would evaporate. Before I knew it, it was New Year again, and I would start the cycle all over again. I found it hard to reflect positively on my achievements, often rebuking myself for not changing.
As I have aged, I have become more comfortable in myself, along with my achievements. I can now reflect positively on a life well-lived. Maybe this is because I am older and have built some internal mechanisms that help me deal better with hardship and life challenges. Perhaps if I could bottle these life experiences, I could write a blog.
It appears that wisdom does come with age. My reality is that I have made good decisions to change at various times throughout my life, but rarely have they come as an epiphany of thoughts and decisions at New Year.
