The new year already started, a blank canvas… let’s fill 2024 with wonderful experiences \ud83d\udcab<\/em><\/p>\n

Let me begin by telling you how my year started… <\/em><\/p>\n

In 2023 with a few friends we planned the perfect trip for the beginning of the new year. We were supposed to welcome it on a plane travelling to Vietnam. When preparing for the trip I thought: “Finally, I will break some patterns by celebrating on an unusual place and begin the year with a vacation, something I’ve never done before!<\/em>” – forming an intention to make 2024 a year of firsts. <\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cIf you want something you’ve never had, you must be willing to do something you’ve never done.\u201d <\/em>\u2015 Thomas Jefferson<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

However, the universe unfolded a different script for us. It was a foggy early morning when we entered the plane full of enthusiasm for the journey awaiting us. After 3 hours being trapped without taking off, the harsh realization dawned upon us that the meticulously planned sequence of flights, culminating in our dreamy destination Ph\u00fa Qu\u1ed1c \u2014 an island in Vietnam, was in jeopardy. Stress and uncertainty were piling up as the saga persisted for another 3 hours at the airport. A temporary relief came in the form of a transfer to a hotel for a brief rest, but shortly we were ushered back to the airport. After an agonizing delay that spanned over 15 hours, we finally took to the skies. Unfortunately, the first leg of our journey was not connected to the rest – so, the delay meant that we lost the rest of all our flights.<\/p>\n

Exhausted and tested beyond our limits, we ended up spending a night in Istanbul searching for new flight tickets, and welcomed 2024 in a taxi en route to our hotel.<\/p>\n

This special moment that carries a profound symbolic significance rooted in cultural and psychological traditions; the moment to which we count the seconds… when the old year turns into a new one marked by the stroke of midnight… the moment that is always filled with hope and optimism, that is charged with joy; this moment we give so much attention and power… well, for the first time in my life this very moment was filled with uncertainty and confusion. But, despite all the unfortunate circumstances, I felt an unexpected calmness inside.<\/p>\n

As I was listening to the should haves and would haves of my friends, I couldn’t stop thinking – This is life<\/strong>. It is full of uncertainty! And, our task is to learn how to dance to its rhythm, which we can’t always anticipate or control!<\/strong> The ebb and flow of each moment, the unpredictable twists and the unforeseen turns are the very essence of our shared human journey.<\/p>\n

No amount of complaining can change the present moment and what it brings. <\/strong>It is in this very now that we are offered the choice \u2013 to resist the unpredictable or to embrace it as an integral part of our story. It is up to us to decide how the circumstances we are given are going to affect us. What we are going to give power over us and what not!<\/p>\n
