2020 has been a tough time to reflect on our values and the use of our time. Every year-end, I do this exercise to summarize everything that happened to me.
It is an excellent opportunity to embrace the good and positive things that happened to us and learn from the negative, and acknowledge the UNIVERSE for it.
I like to do this kind of review of the year. Celebrating each step is an act of confirmation for our efforts.
Have you already done your annual review?
Safe and happy 2021 for everyone!
