You must eventually run out of people.

Is it that life you crave – or just the difference from the one you live now?

This year, I may have turned a page or two in the book that makes up this life but haven’t lived up to everything I am capable of and wanted to do. This is always a disappointing realization as a year comes to a close, even if the responsibility for this failure falls squarely on me. I could make (mostly valid) excuses, but there’s no sense pointing out all the things that have been out of my control, all the things that dragged me down, all the things I avoided.

Instead it’s more logical to turn the tide rather than the page. Take a different approach. Stop falling into bad habits, lazy patterns and comfort zones. Sit in the moment without trying to change things that do not need to be changed; focus on the things that need to.
