Wherever the Wind Leads

It's five days in 2024 already and I have no new year resolution. Will I make one? No! I was elated when my alarm blared on the first day of this year. It came with a note which I had set months back that said; this year, just follow the leading of the wind. I found that statement on Pinterest and I liked it so I set that alarm for the first day of the new year. I had completely forgotten about it until it woke me up that morning.

At the start of 2023, I had penned down some resolutions. I didn't achieve half of it and when I looked back when the year was drawing to an end, tears streamed down my cheeks. I asked myself numerous questions but I figured it wasn't my fault. Lots of things were thrown at me and I'm not so good at juggling so I failed and everything seemed to crash to the ground. I couldn't pick up the pieces to avoid getting hurt but here I am again in 2024, with another golden opportunity.

My goal for the year is to let go of rigid resolutions and dance to the rhythm of the wind. Wherever it leads I'll go. I'm no longer writing things down. I don't want to get hurt or blame myself for whatever I'm unable to achieve hence my decision to follow the wind. The wind knows better, I guess.

As it led Pocahontas, so shall it lead me to things I'd be proud of when I eventually look back on. No written down rigid goals, but definitely no folded arms. Let life play out the way it chooses to, I'll perch at my window every evening to get answers from nature as it does whisper to those who seek answers from it. No matter how harsh the weather may turn out, answers definitely spiral in that harshness. Wisdom and insights are always found in the unpredictable and ever-changing nature of life.

Cheers to a new year. Cheers to new beginnings. May we achieve all that we set our minds to. May the winds of 2024 lead us to fulfilling and enriching experiences.

XOXO ✨
