Energy is lacking and sometimes I catch myself wishing life was easier than it is. But, I know that wishing is pretty useless, unless it is backed up with the right actions that will lead to that outcome. If the right actions aren't taking place, it just comes down to lottery. If the right actions are taking place, the outcome isn't guaranteed, but it can be influenced.
You were spot on with what you said here. I was reflecting on this yesterday, about taking action toward what I want to achieve without clinging to the results, just living the process consciously. Unfortunately, in 2024, I lost track of my goals a bit because I was more focused on the outcome than on the actions needed to achieve them a mistake I don’t intend to repeat in 2025.
Work backwards from your goals in the planning phase - then act forwards.
