Hello 2016!

Hello 2016!

Another year, another chance...to be the best version of yourself, to make yourself proud.

Maybe you didn't achieve all you wanted to in 2015, but in reality we never really do as there is always more to achieve, always another page to our book, another event in our story, another mile in our journey.

Everything in life is transitory, nothing is permanent. And we should always try and bear that in mind, to be in that constant state of now. For what is bad will pass and what is good we must enjoy in the moment.

Having said that, I believe the key to success in all areas of life (and perhaps to everlasting happiness) is to find 'balance'...for life is not all about 'YOLO'. Sure everything has an end, a resolution but sometimes to go further and achieve great things we must put in the work.

Sometimes what's required for great results is daily repetition, banal and boring. Or short term sacrifices to achieve long term gain. And the greater the sacrifice, boy is there a gain.

We can see these goals as projects. And organization and preparation is key. Setting measurable goals within certain time constraints to keep us focused and motivated, knowing there is an end point.

Get your diaries out my fit friends and let's work on our goals together!

Being somewhat old fashioned and enthusiastic about writing I've always loved a physical paper diary.

I picked up a fabulous vegan diary from Typo in Dubai Mall. The branding made me laugh and seemed highly appropriate for me with its low carb and no added sugar content.
