By Shawna M Romkey. Dec 2024. As we approach the end of 2024, many of us find ourselves scrolling through social media, watching videos that highlight the yearâs most glamorous moments. These end-of-year compilations often showcase extravagant parties, epic travels, and seemingly perfect lives. While there's nothing wrong with celebrating achievements, it can be disheartening to see how much emphasis is placed on the flashy, exciting aspects of life. The Inspiration Behind This Reflection These videos sparked a thought: What about the quieter, more personal milestones that donât make the highlight reels? Life is filled with significant events that may seem mundane in comparison but are just as impactful. Whether itâs overcoming a personal challenge, starting a business, or pursuing a passion, these experiences deserve recognition. Questions to Reflect On With this in mind, letâs take a moment to reflect on our own journeys. Here are some questions to consider: 1. Have you overcome an illness? - This journey can be incredibly transformative and deserves recognition. Itâs a testament to resilience and strength. 2. Did you start a business? - Entrepreneurship can be a daunting but rewarding path. What motivated you to take that leap, and what have you learned along the way? 3. Are you doing what you love? - Passionate pursuits can lead to fulfillment. What steps did you take to align your life with your passions? 4. What small victories do you celebrate? - Sometimes, itâs the little thingsâlike completing a project or learning a new skillâthat matter the most. The Importance of Authentic Sharing Instead of constantly trying to portray a glamorous life, letâs embrace authenticity. Sharing our real experiences, both the highs and the lows, can foster deeper connections and inspire others. Everyone you see in a restaurant or bar is living their own story, filled with challenges and accomplishments that may not be visible at first glance. Conclusion As we reflect on the year past and look towards the future, letâs appreciate the beauty in the ordinary. Your life, with all its unique experiences, is worth celebrating. So, the next time you feel the urge to compare your journey to someone elseâs highlight reel, remember that your story is just as important. Letâs hear about itâshare your experiences, and letâs celebrate the everyday accomplishments that make life truly meaningful. Sending love, light and healing as we usher in the New Year.
