Right Now is the Time to Rest and Reflect.

We're told to reflect at the end of every day right? Well this is the end of the year.

Reflection.

This year I’ve been pushing hard, just experimenting with different mediums: newsletters, instagram posts, random youtube videos, and now tik toks.

I believe I was just trying to find myself — or create that new “brand”, something that everyone would just love and I could show my “true” self.

And it’s been hard.

I don’t think I’m at a place where I can say I have it down packed but I’m constantly working through it.

I noticed that there needs to be a moment of reflection 🧘‍♂️ (daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly).. in order to pick up on habits or redirection towards where we want to go.

And that’s what I’m working through — I’ve shared quite a bit of my Notion dashboards and content on how I’m just tracking everything.. from my physical exercises to creating content. Which I’m eager to share more later but just wanted to touch base on what’s going on.

Incoming Goals.

The top 3 things on my mind that I’m working towards.

I. Finishing up my portfolio V2 (documenting this process on twitter)

II. Creating TikToks (getting used to making video content)

III. Handling dealing with car paperwork and getting it ready for the Boston winter.

Personal Takeaways.

I wanted to share a quote I shared in my slack group.

Don't be satisfied with stories, how things have gone with others.

Unfold your own myth.
- Rumi

I can speak for myself, whenever I see success stories on twitter or IG I’m eager to find out how they accomplished that. Looking for the recipe to emulate — just spending time looking over and over again.

While spending so much time always looking, guess what?

I’m not unfolding my own myth.

Let this be a call to action for your week, let’s focus a little bit less on what others are doing and how they’re gaining success and focus on the life we have today.

Hand and hand,

Micah.
