Reflections
As we transition into 2025 - I reflect on what I achieved & haven't achieved for 2024.
I believe that a new year provides us with a milestone to reflect on what positive & negative - and take the opportunity to learn from what has happened that bring us to the current moment.
Achievements
- For the first time in over a decade, I took solid time for myself - off of work, doing things that make me happy & learn how I can apply that in my personal and professional life.
- Started working on projects I believe in (they don't make any money yet)
Lessons Learned
Taking risks in life doesn't come without lessons learned. This past year I have learned to embrace what's going well in my life, and enjoy the moment. Be proud of how far I've come, and be grateful for what's present.
- Attention is everything
- My phone isn't always my friend
- Always try to be open minded
- Consistency is king
Looking Ahead
The world can be overwhelming at times, but I think it's important to look back at what's happened, what's happening & what can happen in the future. Especially working in technology, things are moving at an exponential pace. Which makes it quite important to be in the present moment & understand what's ahead.
Some predictions:
- The year of smart glasses
- AI blends more into our day to day lives
- The public becomes more aware about quantum computing
- Self driving cars expand to majority regions
To anyone reading this, I encourage you to take your own moment of reflection. Celebrate your wins, acknowledge your struggles, and embrace the lessons you’ve learned. Let’s move into 2025 with hope, determination, and the wisdom of the year gone by.
Here’s to growth, resilience, and new beginnings.
