Wow. 2 00:00:25,600 --> 00:00:29,160 Speaker 2: You know, when I stop and look back at this year, 3 00:00:31,080 --> 00:00:34,520 Speaker 2: the way that I do that is typically just kind 4 00:00:34,560 --> 00:00:37,440 Speaker 2: of scrolling through my camera roll and reading through my journal, 5 00:00:38,120 --> 00:00:40,280 Speaker 2: and I feel as. 6 00:00:40,159 --> 00:00:43,200 Speaker 1: Though, maybe more than any. 7 00:00:43,560 --> 00:00:49,760 Speaker 2: Year of recent memory anyway, that this one felt like 8 00:00:50,159 --> 00:00:56,560 Speaker 2: it both crawled by and also went by in the 9 00:00:56,560 --> 00:00:57,560 Speaker 2: blank of an eye. 10 00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:00,959 Speaker 1: It has been. 11 00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:06,200 Speaker 2: A year for me filled with so much growth, and 12 00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:11,639 Speaker 2: I really did navigate so many things that were both 13 00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:18,720 Speaker 2: unanticipated and also really good for me in that they've 14 00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:24,080 Speaker 2: shaped me into this version of myself that is really 15 00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:27,480 Speaker 2: ready for whatever is going to come next. When I 16 00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:29,720 Speaker 2: think about what it is that I want in twenty 17 00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:34,199 Speaker 2: twenty three, a lot of it involves me leveling up. 18 00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:38,280 Speaker 2: It involves me putting myself out there in ways that 19 00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:43,240 Speaker 2: maybe I haven't just yet. And that's not just in business, 20 00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:48,000 Speaker 2: that's in my personal life, it's in my platonic relationships. 21 00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:53,640 Speaker 2: I am ready to take things to a place that 22 00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:59,560 Speaker 2: makes me right now feel both giddy and a little uncomfortable. Now, 23 00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:03,640 Speaker 2: before before we get to this place, before we turn 24 00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:07,920 Speaker 2: the page into the new year, I do have to 25 00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:12,560 Speaker 2: take a moment and reflect on a decision I made 26 00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:13,080 Speaker 2: this week. 27 00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:14,520 Speaker 1: That makes me really proud of me. 28 00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:20,320 Speaker 2: I am not a person that is good on uh 29 00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:23,920 Speaker 2: or at excuse me sitting still. I am a person 30 00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:30,560 Speaker 2: that likes to have a full schedule. I definitely definitely 31 00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:37,440 Speaker 2: am subpar at taking time off from work, and so 32 00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:43,000 Speaker 2: up until earlier this week, I had fully intended to 33 00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:47,400 Speaker 2: publish episodes of the show next week, and that would 34 00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:52,080 Speaker 2: be leading up to the series that has now become 35 00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:55,520 Speaker 2: a constant here on the show, the Turning the Page series, 36 00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:59,560 Speaker 2: with five back to back episodes to kick off the 37 00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:02,160 Speaker 2: new year here on Hurdle. 38 00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:06,560 Speaker 1: But then I asked myself. 39 00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:14,000 Speaker 2: Why why was I so determined to keep going and 40 00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:19,960 Speaker 2: do so knowing that so many other individuals were planning 41 00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:22,760 Speaker 2: and our planning excuse me to take off the time 42 00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:28,040 Speaker 2: to take a beat, to do a little inventory, maybe 43 00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:33,000 Speaker 2: before turning the page before January first. 44 00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:36,520 Speaker 1: And I realized that I just didn't have a good answer. 45 00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:40,480 Speaker 2: Especially because I am my own boss, I make my 46 00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:45,560 Speaker 2: own decisions, and Hurdle is due for a season break. 47 00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:50,040 Speaker 2: My answer would have been because this is what I 48 00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:54,320 Speaker 2: always do, and this is the learning that I want 49 00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:58,880 Speaker 2: to share with you. In this last episode of twenty 50 00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:03,080 Speaker 2: twenty two. Just because this is how things have always 51 00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:05,280 Speaker 2: been doesn't mean that's the way that they need to 52 00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:09,520 Speaker 2: be going forward. Just because a pattern has felt comfortable 53 00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:11,480 Speaker 2: in the past, so that does not mean that you 54 00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:14,600 Speaker 2: cannot break it and find new comfort in a new 55 00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:20,159 Speaker 2: routine moving forward. Every single moment of every single day, 56 00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:24,320 Speaker 2: we have the opportunity to have some input on what 57 00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:27,640 Speaker 2: happens next. And trust me, I know that just saying 58 00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:30,520 Speaker 2: the blanket statement, oh well, you have all of the control. 59 00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:33,880 Speaker 2: You are in charge of what happens moving forward, like 60 00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:36,839 Speaker 2: to an extent, yes, but things happen that are beyond 61 00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:44,039 Speaker 2: our control. Life happens, emotions happen. And as much as 62 00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:47,080 Speaker 2: I want to tell you and empower you that every 63 00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:50,720 Speaker 2: single second is yours for the taking, I understand, especially 64 00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:55,159 Speaker 2: after the last year, especially gosh, after navigating what it 65 00:04:55,200 --> 00:05:02,680 Speaker 2: felt like to be so stuck at one point last February, 66 00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:05,880 Speaker 2: I know that's not always the case. So what I 67 00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:10,360 Speaker 2: tell you today, I promise you is true, is that 68 00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:14,520 Speaker 2: every single second is an opportunity to start fresh. And 69 00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:17,440 Speaker 2: if you are listening to this before January first of 70 00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:22,280 Speaker 2: twenty three, or after it, whatever, whenever, know that you 71 00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:25,400 Speaker 2: don't have to wait until some arbitrary date that someone 72 00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:30,480 Speaker 2: else tells you is the time to start anew And 73 00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:34,679 Speaker 2: so I'm breaking my own pattern.
