            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hello.</p><p>There are many things brewing in my noggin. Oddly, I embrace a digital trail of my life — because it effortlessly tells a story of who I am, what I’m passionate about, and it affords me the chance to reference back and hold myself accountable. Ideas, observations and learnings are things that should be shared, and my hope is that I’ll make a life reference guide for myself (and maybe for others too?).</p><p>I often complain that there are never enough hours in the day to do everything I want to do. But the truth is, that’s just an excuse. You can always make the time to help out a friend, put in a good word for someone, provide feedback or give yourself a brief moment to reset. We lead busy, consuming lives — I’ve fallen victim to accepting a “routine” but then ask myself “where has the time gone?” Every day should give you the opportunity to do something exciting, to make a difference and to learn.</p><p>My new years resolution is to reflect, write and share. It may be things relating to work, my interests/hobbies, school, family — but I hope this can be something positive for me to build over time. I welcome your thoughts. Are there things you’d like to read about?</p><img src="https://medium.com/_/stat?event=post.clientViewed&referrerSource=full_rss&postId=980c4f0f579c" width="1" height="1" alt="">]]></content:encoded>
