Think of where you were last year, the year before or even 5 years ago. Are you where you wanted to be by this time?

Given the unusual situation that has prevailed in the last 18 months, it’s not surprising that most of us will answer; “are you mad? Of course not, I’m in a completely different situation than I intended, or expected”.

It’s also unsurprising that many of us feel that it’s not our fault, that we had no control of the situation or outcome and can be forgiven for not knowing what to do now.

Well, here’s the point, whatever plans we had and whatever position we’re in now, we need to learn from the past and prepare for the future!
