As 2023 gracefully exits the stage, it leaves behind not a thundering applause or a dazzling curtain call, but a subtle echo – a resonance within the chambers of my soul. This past year wasn’t a whirlwind of grand adventures or earth-shattering milestones, but rather a slow, unfurling journey, a mosaic meticulously crafted with slivers of profound lessons and quiet triumphs.
It’s Not Personal – Epictetus wisely penned, “If you are disturbed by anything outside yourself, the pain is not due to the thing itself, but to your judgments about it”.
Be Your Own Sunshine – Helen Keller’s words, “Keep your face to the sunshine and you cannot see the shadows”.
They Will Judge You Anyways – Lao Tzu’s sage advice, “Let not the babbling of the envious trouble you”.
Hold Onto Your Truth – Mahatma Gandhi poignantly stated, “First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win”.
Focus On Growth – Nelson Mandela’s wisdom, “The greatest glory in living lies not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall”.

As I bid farewell to 2023 and step into the unknown embrace of the coming year, I carry these revelations close, a mosaic meticulously crafted with the shards of self-discovery, resilience, and unwavering faith in the transformative power of my own journey. The year 2023 may not have been etched in headlines, but it is forever etched in my soul, a testament to the quiet revolutions that unfold within the ripples of our lives.
