It is the last day of the year, a time for reflection of what has transpired. I can say it was a definite year of change. The truth is that EVERY year has change for every single person. You are not the same person you were one day later let alone one year later. It is a necessity of life, otherwise it becomes stagnant.
I would have to say the most important positive change for me was my ability to handle verbal confrontation. This is something I have never been comfortable with. I would panic, shut down, studder and ramble. Several events this year have forced me to go out of my verbal comfort zone. Leave it in the dust and speak up with confidence and intelligence.
I'm now just beginning to analyze every conversation almost like a sparring round. I need to remain focussed on what I am trying to convey what I am meaning. I need to not let someone continually push me back. I need to "block and counter" so to speak. Above all, just stay calm.
It took a whole year for this single change alone to even start taking in affect, just another example of incremental progression. I know by this time next year I will look back at this blog and see the immense difference yet again.
Thank you, Monkey team for such a great year. We have accomplished so much in such a short time.
Take care everyone.
