Every time I sit down to write something for you here it usually involves a whole lot of backspace. Today was no exception. Above are all the ways I tried to start describing the awesomeness that was this year. I cannot begin. There is no beginning. I guess, in a way, my blog is the best reference for the amazing turn my life took this year. 2011 was possibly the worst year I've experienced, ever. I had friends that passed away, relationships that ended, cars that stopped working (R.I.P Naomi), and a degree that meant nothing to me (R.I.P economics).
I remember 2 years ago, on the 30th of December, I was in Melbourne, Australia. I was sitting in this cafe on Brunswick street, with my notebook, writing down my goals for next year. Call me what you like, but I remember thinking to myself "next year something big needs to happen". So I wrote in that book, at the top of my list, "MAKE SOMETHING BIG HAPPEN". I had no idea what that would be but I knew the magnitude of how big that change had to be. Come September 2011 I had decided what that change would be - I was moving to New York City. Part of it I think was running away but the other half was because I really wanted change for myself. I left everything. Notably to most, un-graduated degree.
Maybe I'm starting to rant here but I really don't believe university is what you need to get where you want to be (with the exception of specialized professions). It's all about how you 'apply' yourself. The job climate around the world is changing and it's important we're aware of it. Even though I hate the word 'rich' this article explains it fairly accurately. Anyway enough of that.
2012, what can I say? I did things I never thought I would do, at least, until I was a lot older. I made so many incredible friends. I accomplished so many of my goals, and most of all, I started this. Whatever this is. It's awesome. thisismorgs.com.
Highlights included: this, this, this, this and of course this.
Parting thoughts, I really believe if you can keep a vision in your head of where you want to be, and make decisions that work in favour of that vision, you'll get there. Think of it everyday. Remind yourself of it before you go to sleep.
Play this song and have a Happy New Year,

I really enjoyed this post Morgs!
ReplyDeleteIt's absolutely true, there is no real way to put down all of the incredible experiences and adventures that 2012 held for you. It was truly such a rich year.
I had no idea about the challenges that 2011 had in store for you either. It's really inspiring how you took charge and changed that around. Really stoked for you!
Happiest New Year :)
