Episode Synopsis

Hey there! This is the host, Harsh Patel, bringing you the 7th episode of the podcast, Within 5 Minutes. 
In my opinion, December is the best month :) And I had to create an episode on one of the reasons why I feel it's such an important month.
You just feel this sense of excitement and nostalgia for everything you’ve been through in the last 12 months. Excitement for a brand new chapter in your life. Excitement for a clean slate.
Some of us found our first jobs despite all the negative voices while some of us found ourselves stuck in the crossroads of career choices. Some of us left our homes to pursue our dreams while some of us found new homes in situations extreme.
2021 has changed our lives in a very physiological way. We have seen how vulnerable we are as humans and how life is so precious. Billions of people shut inside four walls both physically and mentally.
Who you were then and who you are now are poles apart from each other. This might have been the year you decided to take it slow and enclose yourself in the warmth of your cocoon. Or this might have been the year when you finally decided to emerge out of the cocoon and spread your wings with bright colors. Whatever your path was, you metamorphosized. You evolved.
Not every year is supposed to be your best year. Things go wrong all the time. Friends part company and we fall in proverbial holes. Recognizing what isn’t working for you is actually a big positive. And letting go of these things is vital to create new space for new experiences.
So take some time now and ponder the year that was. Once you’ve taken the time to sit and reflect, you can finally close the doors to 2021.
2022 is the beginning of a new chapter in the book you call Life. And soon, you will be writing the first page out of the 365 pages in this chapter.
I wish you all the very best and may this next year bring you closer to all the things you’ve dreamt for yourself. I wish you a merry Christmas and a happy new year.
See you in the next episode. Ciao.
