As we embark on a new year, many people set ambitious resolutions. This year, however, I’ve decided to take a different approach. After setting grand goals in 2020 and not accomplishing a single one, I found myself becoming the most cynical version of myself. So, no massive goals for now. Instead, I’m embracing good advice. I might not be able to predict what challenges 2021 has in store for us, but having wise words to guide me will hopefully make navigating the inevitable chaos a bit more manageable.
