So Long 2016...2017 Bring It On

2016 is in the rear view mirror.  Many people are upset and become depressed this time of year. Their year stunk. 2016 was horrible. I can’t wait for this year to be over.  We have all heard similar comments from family, friends, and acquaintances. I use this time as an opportunity to evaluate the previous 365 days.  What did I learn about myself? What did I do well? What areas can I improve? Instead of focusing on the negative, use this time to re-evaluate yourself as an individual.

What have you learned about yourself this year? If you can add 3-5 things to this list, the year was not wasted.  Here are three things I have learned about myself.

• I am a strong person who is able to overcome adversity.

• I need continued work on my listening skills.

• If you are internally motivated, you can do anything you set your mind too.

What have you learned about yourself in 2016?
