Happy New Year 2023-Transform!

What the caterpillar calls the end of the world, the master calls a butterfly. ~Richard Bach.

What is a good life if not a constant endeavour to transform – to change – for the better, and there is no better time to bring about the change than the present.

There were a lot of things that I had planned to do in 2011, but most of them never happened. There was too much to do and it seemed that there was simply not enough time. I guess there never is enough time in our lives to do all the things that we want to do.

But, the funny thing is that when I look back at 2011, I can’t help but wonder: Did I do the best in the time that was available to me?
