That’s a good question! Well, if I prepare and take baby steps like you said, I guess preparation involves… making time. Just in general! Making time for everything that deserves much more of my time. When I think about it, I would like to read and write a lot more, like I used to, but there are lots of other things too. I would just like to make time to do all the things I love, like you mentioned above. What’s stopping me, I’m not sure… I think it’s always a certain type of fear that stops people from doing things isn’t it? I think before this year in particular I avoided a lot of things because I was shy, introverted even, and also maybe even because of laziness! I stuck with a lot of my New Year’s resolutions this year though, I’m happy to report! And even though I still have to read ‘7 Habits of Highly Effective People’, I think even before you mentioned it to me I was perhaps already working towards living my life more in the way I truly wanted. So now I celebrate my life much more than sadder recent years. I embrace life, and endeavour to meet new people and do all those things I’ve always wanted to – volunteering for causes and organisations I care about, and joining groups and socities involved in activities I’m interested in. And so naturally I’ve made more friends – and the cycle continues upwards! 😀 Oh this is very long now!
