MY 2016 YEAR IN REVIEW: SUCCESSES, FAILURES & LESSONS LEARNED

At the end of this year, i always make sure to take some time to reflect back on the previous year.

I do this for two reasons :

1. To acknowledge all the successes and accomplishments of the year. By celebrating all of your « wins », it gives more certainty towards achieving your future goals. Not only that, but it feels good and you get to feel proud of yourself !
2. To carefully review all the failures, challenges and goals that i came up short on. What can i learn from these experiences? what good can come from it? by finding the positive and the lessons learned, those challenges then become your asset. This will ensure you don’t make the same mistakes or experience the same challenges/failures for your upcoming year

 «  What gets rewarded, get repeated. Success breads more success. »
