And amidst those circumstances, you made a series of decisions that led you to this point. Are you happy with where you\u2019ve landed? Do you find yourself gratified or disappointed with how it unfolded? What worked? What didn\u2019t? What would you change if you could do it over? What were the most valuable lessons you\u2019ll take into 2022? What will you do differently?<\/p>\n<p>These are all questions I\u2019d like you to ask yourself before you step into the new year. Why? Because most of us, myself included, can get so caught up in just moving from one day to the next without ever stopping to look up and see if we\u2019re moving in the direction we intended. We get fooled into thinking we have all the time in the world, and suddenly, a year has passed us by. Time moves fast and slow. In the day-to-day, it feels like the seconds crawl. The days feel long, and so we waste them. We dillydally. We spend hours on Instagram and Facebook. We squander time like it\u2019s infinite. But suddenly, a month has come and gone. Then a year. Then a decade. And you\u2019re left scratching your head: <i>How did that go so fast?<\/i> Hopefully, you\u2019re exactly where you want to be. But far too often, we find ourselves regretting how we spent so much time on trivial things.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>It reminds me of one of my favorite movie quotes from <i>Confessions of a Dangerous Mind<\/i>: <i>When you\u2019re young, your potential is infinite. You might do anything really. You might be Einstein. You might be DiMaggio. Then you get to an age when, what you might be, gives way to what you have been. You weren\u2019t Einstein.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>You weren\u2019t DiMaggio. You weren\u2019t anything. That\u2019s a bad moment.<\/i><\/p>\n<p>That line gets me every time. It encapsulates the regret we can experience when we look back on another year (or decade) and find that due to procrastination, distraction, and indecision, we wasted it.<\/p>\n<p>So in the hopes of helping each other make this year count, here is an insight I learned from entrepreneur GaryVee that I\u2019d like you to keep in mind: As you pursue your goals this year, aim to develop two virtues \u2014 <b>speed<\/b> and <b>patience<\/b>. Speed is understanding the importance of something and taking action on it immediately and consistently. It\u2019s your velocity of execution. Patience is the ability to do said actions without seeing the payoff for long periods of time.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>I meet so many people who have been <i>thinking<\/i> about getting back into their fitness routine for six months. They keep meaning to find the time but haven\u2019t yet. They talk, they ruminate, they mull it over into oblivion. They\u2019re sitting on the fence yet somehow never miss an episode of <i>Yellowstone.<\/i> They delay as if they have all the time in the world. And it\u2019s often these same people who will do something for two weeks and complain that results aren\u2019t happening fast enough. Why? Because they lack urgency and patience.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Honestly, it\u2019s not completely their fault. It\u2019s how society\/culture\/technology is training your lizard brain to be. It\u2019s literally the business model of social media; harvest your attention for ad dollars by keeping your eyeballs glued to a screen. I read the other day that the goal of one popular social platform is to get teenagers to use the app for four hours a day. FOUR HOURS. So when we drink from a river of dance videos and half-naked influencers, our expectations get all out of whack.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s a very uncomfortable truth I\u2019d like you to embrace this year: <i>Everything worthwhile will take longer than you think. <\/i>Whatever goal you have, understand that it might take two to three times longer than you planned for. This is normal. Expect it. Make peace with it. But at the same time, stop farting around. Just because the process takes a while doesn\u2019t mean you should.<\/p>\n<p>Focus your effort. Have a plan. Start now. Do that, and this time next year, you\u2019ll be amazed at what you can accomplish. <span style=\"color: #13a01a;\"><strong>spt<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We\u2019ve just completed one year and stand at the precipice of another.
