There is still time…. The first half of the year is gone already and for some of us, certain goals we had set for this period of the year haven’t been achieved yet. If you fall in this category, rather than allow yourself to feel anxious, discouraged, or disappointed, look on the bright side of life and you will realize there is something to be thankful for. As the second half of the year begins, there is still time to achieve those goals by going back to the drawing board- -Be specific about what you want to achieve. -Set realistic and achievable goals within your current resources and constraints. -Ensure that your goals align with your values and long-term objectives. -Stay positive and consistent. Happy New Month!

Happy Friday, everyone! As we reflect on the past week at Made for More Compass, it's evident that our journey is defined by both our victories and the challenges we've faced. Each win wasn't just a step forward; it was a testament to our collective growth 🌱. And the setbacks? Simply reminders of our humanity and new opportunities to excel with even more determination next week 💪. We've embraced a crucial wisdom: success and setbacks are two sides of the same coin, each playing a pivotal role in shaping us into better versions of ourselves. It's about finding balance, learning from every experience, and moving forward with purpose and resilience. As we step into the weekend, let's do so with a sense of excitement and readiness for what's ahead. We're prepared for more lessons, laughter, and bold strides toward achieving our goals. Together, we'll reach new heights. Here's to evolving every day and embracing our journey with open hearts and minds. 🚀🌟

As the year comes to a close, we’ll soon see our feeds filled with snapshots of achievements and milestones. And while it’s truly heartwarming to celebrate others’ wins, it’s easy to fall into the trap of comparison. But here’s the thing—those snapshots are just a part of someone’s story, not the whole picture. They’re the highlight reel, not the behind-the-scenes. Life isn’t perfect for anyone, and if you’re feeling like you’re the one left behind, trust me, you’re not alone. This is the perfect time to take a step back from your screens, reflect on your own journey, and give yourself some grace. Growth is still growth, even if it’s slow. Achievements are still achievements, no matter how small they might seem. Own your year. Own your mistakes. And if someone calls you out on a mistake, say, “Hell yes, I did that—and now it’s mine to make better.” That’s where your strength lies—in taking responsibility and turning it into something powerful. Spend this time with your loved ones. Celebrate the progress you’ve made, however big or small. And as we step into a new year, let’s do so with gratitude, resilience, and a little less comparison. Wishing you all a joyful holiday season and an incredible start to the year ahead! 🎉

Taking time to reflect on the past year and set intentions for the new year is a valuable practice for growth and clarity. Here’s how I plan to reflect and prepare: Reflect on this past year: 1. Celebrate my wins: Regardless of how big or small, which ones am I most proud of? What brought me the most fulfillment and joy? 2. Challenges and Lessons: What were the toughest moments and how did I grow from them? 3. Gratitude: What made my year better? I plan on reflecting on moments of connection, kindness, and resilience. 4. Self-awareness: What habits, beliefs, or patterns served me best and which ones didn’t. Prepare for the New Year: 1. Set my intentions: Instead of rigid resolutions I plan on asking myself, “who do I want to become?” and “how do I want to feel?”. I plan on picking a theme for this New Year and that’s going to be “Growth”. 2. Define my priorities: What is it that matters to me most in this next chapter? 3. Create Actionable Goals: I plan on breaking my big aspirations into small and achievable steps. 4. Self-care and mindfulness: I plan on prioritizing rest and time for reflection throughout the year. I hope this helps you (the reader) with reflection and and re-focusing. Happy Holidays!

As the year draws to a close, I want to take a moment to celebrate you. 2024 has been a year of growth, challenges, and triumphs—each step shaping the remarkable person you are today. Whether you achieved a long-held goal, took a step toward a dream, or simply showed up each day with resilience, you’ve made progress worth celebrating. As we step into 2025, let’s carry forward the lessons, the strength, and the hope we’ve gathered this year. Dream boldly, act intentionally, and embrace the possibilities ahead. Whatever your aspirations, be it personal, professional, or somewhere in between, know that you have what it takes to make them a reality. So, here’s to you: ✨ Reaching new heights. ✨ Finding joy in the little moments. ✨ Thriving in ways that feel authentic and meaningful. May this holiday season bring warmth to your heart, love to your home, and clarity for the path ahead. Merry Christmas and here’s to a brilliant 2025! 🌟

Your Journey Has No Deadline: The Year Is Only a Milestone🐾🐾. As we step into the final chapter of the year, let’s take a moment to pause and reflect🧘🙇♀️. The truth is, the year isn’t a deadline for your dreams or goals. Life’s journey doesn’t conform to the boundaries of a calendar. Instead of dwelling on what wasn’t achieved, celebrate the progress you’ve made; big or small. Each step forward is a testament to your resilience and effort. Remember, every single day offers a fresh opportunity to align with your aspirations. Reflect on the things you’ve accomplished, no matter how few they may seem. Gratitude has a way of highlighting just how far you’ve come, even when the road ahead still stretches on. So, as we embrace this last month of the year, let’s stay hopeful, focused, and kind to ourselves. The new year isn’t the only chance to start afresh. Every sunrise is a new beginning. Happy New Month Lovelies🤗.Let’s make it count.✨✨ #NewMonth #ProgressNotPerfection #GrowthMindset #StayPositive #DailyInspiration #NewBeginnings #MindsetMatters #CelebrateGrowth #KeepMovingForward #NoDeadlines #SelfReflection #AchieveYourGoals

In and out. it’s easy to feel overwhelmed by everything we didn't achieve. I know because I’ve been there, looking at my to-do list and thinking, “How did the months fly by so quickly?” But here’s something I’ve learned: ➤ It’s okay if you didn’t achieve everything you wanted this year. Life happens, priorities shift, and we grow in ways we didn’t anticipate. What matters now is this: ➤ You’re still here, and there’s still time. There’s so much more ahead. Next year can still be your year. Rather than focusing on what’s left undone, let’s focus on the lessons we’ve learned, the progress we’ve made, and the strength we’ve gained. Don’t be too hard on yourself Fam. Next year will be better, and you’re ready for it. 📍PS: Gather here if you’re yet to accomplish all your goals for the year.
