I think 2021 will be a year for building. I tend to think in the ‘New Year new me’ phrase but I sincerely believe that this year will be a year for building.
Building relationships that last a lifetime, building skills that will be useful, like cooking, sewing, or even starting a business.
Maybe you want to start working out, that is a skill. Build on it.
Personally, I have always wanted to learn how to do portrait photography. Staring to learn through YouTube and other professional photographers help, I am building my skill.
Think of each day like a brick that you are adding to the structure.
You can add more bricks day by day and you might not see the progress at first. But eventually you are.
You need to use momentum to finish building that skill.
Use this year to build or start to build a skill you have always wanted. Set goals. I have a few goals set.
First, I’m going to spend more time with my friends while still following the COVID-19 procedures, taking a road trip to a national park or maybe a drive-in movie. Second is to be as helpful and kind to everyone that I can be.
Since COVID began, I find that it is important to help those in need and to be a friendly face to talk to. It’s important to see people working together this year.
Supporting each other. I want to see fans back in the stadiums and back in the field.
I want parents to be able to see their child graduate. Here is a question to ask this year, how can I make 2021 a better year?
The answer might be what makes you happy and what makes you feel like a good person.
You might want to help keep campus clean and pick up trash and throw it away. Maybe you want to make someone smile or laugh.
The small choices that are made today changes what your year will look like in the outcome.
Will you look back in December and see you’ve done more harm than good to will you look back and see the smiles and good memories with friends or see yourself building?
I am going to make 2021 a better year. I’ve decided that I am going to focus on my goals and see them through, to see my friends accomplish their goals that they set and to support them.
I am going to see people succeed at something that they set their mind to.
It’s been a rough start to the year, but we have a long way to go.
Why not use it to see our goals through?
