One day you will look back and find that you were strong in ways you were not able to at the time and you will be grateful for how you chose to keep going even without knowing what the future would be.

You might have been negative about things but a sudden shift brought a positive change which completely change your happiness and you started achieving goals that you set earlier.
  2. You became the person you wanted to be: It so happens that you were not the person that people or you yourself wanted to be. The year passes and you learn a lot from it. You learn how to be patient, calm, composed, happy, sad, and much more. You become a mix of all the emotions and know how to handle things the way it needs to be. Keep in mind when you look back the same year you shall see the change.
  3. From lonely to abundance in friends and relations : Did it happen that you lost touch with friends, you broke relations with your relatives or loved ones and there came a day in your life where everything turned upside down? Yes, life is such a miracle, it does changes everything in a blink of an eye and everything starts becoming the same as it earlier used to be.

    It doesn’t happen always that you are going to be lonely, a day will bring in a change. Respect time and it will surely respect you back with what you were waiting for.
  4. You attained growth which you struggled for earlier : You might have gone heads over heels to attain growth and ended up no where. You came across someone who guided you the best and from there over you never looked back.

    Why did this happen? You struggled, you were respected for your hard work, you helped people during the right time, and when it was yours the favor was returned back by some one in some manner that you did not even have expected about.
  5. You grew by heart and wealth : You’ve struggled all the way down to streamline your financials and emotions as well. You’ve seen the hardest times and have hurdled all the way to reach your goals. You’ve broken down a couple of time but never gave up. As told in the above lines, it is not always about an year, sometimes it also means from the time you felt heart broken until date too teaches you a lot of things.

    You started accepting things the way they are, you started savings because you know the consequences. An year has taught you everything to be big by heart and good by wealth.
  6. Your accomplishments and praises never stopped : Often you’ve worked an entire year but what happened in the end turned your life or dream into a reality. Your accomplishments got bigger, you were praised for your contributions be it for a noble cause, society, organizational excellence, and much more.

    Did it bring a change? Yes indeed. You must have worried but the year end changed it for you. Work doesn’t go in waste, someday or the other you’ll be seeing what you wanted to see.
  7. Your family got bigger, survived the hurdles, presented you emotional surprises : A lot of you might be thinking what could be the best part of your life. Obviously your parents who give you strength and your friends who stay beside you during your darkest times.

    It is amazing that you’ve been a part of those hurdles they have faced, you’ve been a part of those surprises from your sister in law giving birth to a child to seeing yourself graduating from the top schools with good grades.

    They have tried even surprising you during your darkest times so that you don’t lose your hopes. What else you would need in your life? Isn’t it the best. Family goes no where but comes back to you when everyone does.

There can be a lot of changes that you might have observed that you witnessed with your best ones. It is for sure that an year does bring about a change whether good or bad in few ways. You should develop from the bad ones instead of letting it harm you somehow.

You got to witness each and every part of it. You’ve added the best and worst chapters of it. The only thing that makes it beautiful is you never gave up and reached here even if the difficult times led you down. An year can bring a change and yes it has brought in you as well. Has 2022 ended on a better note? and is 2023 going to be a blast? Witness it.
