As with most of us at this time of year, I’ve spent the
Christmas period reflecting on the year just past and thinking about what the
coming year might bring. As the year draws to a close I always like to think
about what I’ve learnt in the last 12 months and remember the lessons going
forward.
So here’s what I’ve learnt in 2016;
Tomorrow isn’t guaranteed so don’t take today for granted
2016 has been full of loss from public figures to friends
and family members, most of which came as a complete and utter shock to us. If
the past year has taught me anything, it’s that tomorrow isn’t guaranteed. The
trouble is, we all think we have time.
This year I’m starting off by writing a
list of things I want to do and achieve in the next 12 months and putting a
plan in place to make sure I complete most, if not all of them. I’m also trying
to take more time out to spend with friends and family and treasure that time
with them.
