I continue to reflect on the year that is 2021. I learned and relearned important lessons. Here a just a few things I learned this year:
- There is more commality among humans than diversity. Focus on what we have in common.
- Do not assume the worst in people. Most people are trying to their best.
- Making small changes each day will lead to big changes over time. Example: In Week 1, run (or walk) one mile. In week 2, add 300 feet (approximately the length of a football field). Add 300 more feet each week. After a year, you will run nearly four miles.
- Discover, understand, and live your values. This is the hardest of the four listed. It takes time to discover what you value, what that value means to you, and why you value it. It is a greater challenge to live your values.
- Read for fun.
Take some time to ponder your own personal lessons of 2021. Consider what you learned and how the lessons impacted your life.
