2017 to 2018

2017; thankful for a year of God’s faithfulness and favour upon my life. 

As I transited a class of N1 kiddos to N2 two weeks back, I find it funny how there’s a subconscious change in perspectives & expectations of the adults on the children now that they are “big kids”, where in fact, they’re quite as much little as they were a weekend ago when they were in N1. To me, the crossing over of one year to another feels oddly similar to that, just that it’s about perceptions and expectations we have on ourselves- i tend to think I get to “reset” in a new year, “I’ll do everything right & good from now on”. 2 months into the new year I get disappointed cause I can’t be all right and good, the bar I’ve set for my new-year-self is just too high for me to achieve. 2017 and 2018 is merely a day apart, I’m still quite the person I was yesterday, and change doesn’t happen overnight. The kiddos still need help unbuttoning their shirts even though they’re now in N2, and I need the time to right what is wrong, to make progress and to grow. So as much as setting goals for the new year is important, recognising that attaining these goals take time, failures, repetition & endurance is too.
