A new year comes whether we work toward it or not.

And as long as we’re living, we’ll get a birthday within that cycle too. But again, it happens without our contribution. Without our work.

It’s nice to celebrate milestones and round numbers. But better to celebrate the things that might not have happened without our effort.

To celebrate milestones of creativity. Milestones of generosity. Milestones of commitment and of showing up.

If we’re going to count, let’s count what matters most.
