MAYBE--JUST MAYBE by Becky Hemsley 2024


"MAYBE--JUST MAYBE"
by Becky Hemsley 2024

Maybe this will be 'your year'.
Maybe it won't.
Maybe you are exhausted from 2023 and you don't have the energy to jump into 2024, determined to claim it for your own.
Maybe you're happy for 2024 to pass gently, with no huge mountains to climb or valleys to negotiate.
Without the peaks and troughs
and the highs and lows.
Maybe you're simply ready for 2024 to be consistently peaceful and calm.
There is something incredibly freeing about feeling content with where you are. Without the need to keep chasing more, more, more.
If you keep climbing mountains, soon enough you'll run out of sky.
And when you do, you might realise that you never really stopped to look back at how far you've come; you never really paused to admire the view.
If there's a mountain in your midst and you're determined to climb it,
then go for it. Let this be 'your year'.
But know too that this can be 'your year' if you simply reach the end of it
happy and at peace.
Because life is not defined by the giant peaks and the constant climb.
It is defined by the tiny, every day things that add up to great contentment.
So you don't need to take the wheel if you're too exhausted to drive.
You don't need to steer this year away from where you are,
if where you are makes you happy.
Maybe 'your year' will see you climbing mountains.
But maybe - just maybe -
it will also see you sitting back
and enjoying just how far you've come.
