2018 — The year that was and what I learnt :)

Leave a comment


2018 will always be remembered as a bittersweet year in its truest sense — an year where I lost pieces and parts of myself, but gained so much experience, that I am nothing less but thankful.

2018 taught me that sometimes in life you are literally split & torn between decisions, and if you want to move forward, you have to choose one. It’s extremely stressful, but that’s what life is all about.

2018 also taught me that many times, later on, a decision may feel wrong. Have faith and try to remind yourself of why you took that decision. Things will start falling in place.

2018 showed completely opposite faces of some people who were very close to me. They just lost the respect I had for them. I am still struggling to reason their behavior, but maybe that’s how we all are — selfish.

2018 proved that making a change (of any kind) is in your hands, and there is no substitute for hard work.

2018 gave me new friends, new goals and new aspirations. 5 years back, I would have never imagined the life am living right now! This year taught me to be open to changes, and Life will never stop surprising you.

2018 was an year of personal challenges. And while going through these, I realized that every single person you know is going through a unique challenge of their own. We don’t know their story, and so it doesn’t hurt to be kind and generous. You may end up brightening somebody’s day unknowingly.

2018 reinforced my belief in the power of “karma”. My deeds ( both good and bad ) came back to me in mysterious ways and forms unknown.

I learnt ~ Be good, do good. And in a world where you can be anything ~ be kind!
Don’t worry if somebody else is playing games with you, you show your class by taking the high road. Biggest revenge is moving on.

2018 taught me to ‘let go’.
Let go & forgive people ~ because you inner peace is more important.
Let go ~ while practicing Yoga and meditation — because unless you do that, you won’t see the benefits.
Let go ~ if things don’t go your way ~ trust the universe and its interesting turn of events.
This year took away in heaps, but showered me with other things that I didn’t know I needed!

In 2018 ~ I loved & I was loved back. I cried, I was heartbroken, I was shattered — but I gathered & picked myself up every single time.

I laughed, I danced, I did things I could never imagine myself doing.
I also said ‘No’ more often. Some friendships were rekindled, some were put on the back burner.

Undoubtedly the longest year of my life — NO, the days did not go by quickly this year.
Here is my quick tip to go through an year like this — be tenacious, trust the universe, never shy away from hard work, and be a good person from the bottom of your heart.

Good Bye 2018!
