My wishes for you are not what you think.

This year, I will break my rule of wishing you good health, success, etc…. Come to think of it, these wishes are boring as hell….

I wish you better than that.

The older I get, the faster time flies.

No sooner has 2024 begun than 2025 is already upon us.

It’s a sobering feeling. If I’d known when I was twenty that I’d reach 60 so quickly, there are many things I could have done without.

Like not trying so hard to fit into the mold.
Or following a pre-planned path so obediently.

I would have started earlier, without fear of failure.

I would have taken more risks and ventured further down byways.

I wouldn’t have bothered with unnecessary things or encounters,

Nor lived to please.

I would have listened to myself more.

I would have spent more time doing things I love and less on things that didn’t align with who I am.
In short, I would have made a greater effort to live my life fully, rather than watching it slip through my fingers as if it would last forever.

So instead of wishing you a year full of success and good health, I wish you something else.

  • To write the book you’ve always wanted to write.
  • To start the business you’ve always wanted to start.
  • To step out of the comfort that has kept you from realizing your dreams.
  • To accept the idea of failing.
  • To embrace it even.

You have more years to live than you think.

It’s never too late to live your true life.

Happy New Year to all, and may it be a new beginning for you.
