As we come upon the New Year, I reflect on what really matters in life. The ritual of closing the year calls me to slow down and reflect on what has passed — both good and bad. I’m thinking of the meaningful moments: challenges that I have overcome, failures where I get up again with new insight, loss that needs more time to heal, …. As I begin to drown in all that has happened, I struggle to connect (or reconnect) to what is meaningful in my life.
When a friend sent me this video, I thought, well, it’s just a commercial. However, the video inspired me to reconnect to what really matters. Video is a powerful medium to tell a story, most of what is “told” is beyond words. For this coming year, I hope you also find the stories that inspire you.
