From past three years, I’m doing an annual review of my life. Cause I want to pause and reflect back on my successes and failures of the previous year and publishing it here in this Blog keeps me accountable for the next year.
This is my fourth annual review, you can access my previous reviews for 2015 (Part 1, Part 2, Part 3), 2014 and 2013. This year also I’ll answer three questions, same as past 3 years:
- What went well this year?
- What didn’t go so well year?
- What’s am I working toward?
So this is gonna sound cliché but I’m the man of making resolutions and working on them, every year. So this year also I created a list of new year resolutions like last year. Coincidently I’m posting this annual review almost at the end of second quarter of the year like last year.
I think I’m liking this schedule as it gives me some more visibility on the new year’s resolutions and I can add some more context to the happenings of the year. If that doesn’t make sense, just read it as I was feeling lazy!
Just kidding.
After the successful year of 2015, last year was not that successful overall but it was no less satisfying. I also experienced various sort of serendipities.
serendipity
sɛr(ə)nˈdɪpɪti
noun
the occurrence and development of events by chance in a happy or beneficial way.
Ok! That was not an editorial mistake I knowingly put that word definition above. Why? Because I’ve fallen in love with this word “Serendipity”.
Serendipity in my own definition is a state when we fall in love with the universe and start accepting and loving the present moment, then the universe starts loving you back in the strangest of ways.
There happened many serendipitous events in the year of 2016. Through which I felt strange new feelings derived from wandering, wondering and affection.
I’m keeping this post as a single post, unlike last year’s 3 part post which took so much time and complexity to get published. Hope it will be insightful and interesting for some of you.
Lets cut to the chase.
