Focusing on what matters

2025/01/14 #personal

From the outset 2025 has all the potential to be a really bad year for the world. I don't think I can or want to list all of the factors that lead me (and probably most of you?) to this conclusion but I think the big ones should be clear to anyone who has been following the news at all this past year.

But this post is not about how bad things might get. Instead I want to focus on the only thing I can control about this: how I (re)act.

This year I am going to put all of my focus into getting better at the things I want to be great at, learn new things I want to at least be competent at and generally find more things that make me (and hopefully also the people around me) happy.

There's no use in constantly worrying or doomscrolling and I encourage you as well to focus on the things you want to improve about and for yourself, your environment and the people close to you.

Happy 2025 to all of you!
