Just in a blink of an eye, 2016 is gone…
My feeling is that I did have a great year with all the ups and downs, overcoming many set-backs and obstacles, shifting my paradigm toward the world and everything around it…For me, 2016 is not a good year, it’s a great year.
Today, on the last day of 2016, I try to put everything in pieces. I will review what I have done during the last year, what was good and what was not, and I also plan for my biggest goal next year so that at the end of the year 2017, I will always be available for what’s important to me, get closer to my goal and feel content with my life.
Below are list of questions that I will ask myself seriously in order to have a complete review and planning session.
