I have often fallen into the trap of claiming this will be my year. My year to get fit, to save, to travel, to land that dream job! Well after much deliberation I have concluded that this phrase may just as well be as un-attainable as finding that pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. Don't get me wrong, I love goal setting just as much as any other control-freak, however I have realised that through focusing on what is meant to happen at the finish line I have neglected to look back on what I have achieved. While this year I did not travel, I barely saved, and I didn't land that dream job, I have finally completed my degree, made new friendships, seen some pretty spectacular places, and discovered much more about who I am and what I want. Now, if you ask me (you didn't), that is something to be proud of... and with 2017 looming, who knows, it may just be my year!
