Hi! This is my entry for the contest: "Choose one of the 6 and answer", courtesy of @brittandjosie. She invites you to tell her "in over 200 words about WHO, WHEN, WHERE, HOW, WHY or WHAT about your 2019".

So let's get to work, I choose HOW.

This year that question has been with me constantly. Let me explain myself better: In spite of the fact that in my country there has been a strong struggle between the powers that be that has captured the general attention, my concern is not with external things, but with my inner self. The world may fall, but my well-being depends on me, and I think that difficulties are opportunities, so I don't spend much energy on things I cannot control.

But I didn't choose WHO, so I better stick to HOW.

This year I felt the need to move forward, personally, family-wise and at work, and I just got stuck in the HOW.

How can I be a better person?
How can I progress in my work?
How to be a better mom?
How to be a better wife?
How to be a better Christian?
How to be financially independent?

I believe that when we have been comfortable in one position for a long time, it is more difficult to find the answers.

So far I've read and studied a little. I was in a course where I hit a big wall when I had to answer the question: What is my life purpose?

Everyone there seemed to have a clear answer; however, I think this is one of the few times that I felt totally out of place. Even to this day, I don't see it clearly. But what I do see is that it seems to be the beginning of the solution to all my questions.

I always felt fulfilled in what I was doing, so now, having to reinvent myself, I feel somewhat disoriented. But I know it's just a matter of time, I'm glad this 2019 raised so many questions for me, it was the first step to get out of where I am and continue my journey to where I want to be.

Well, I think it finally got mixed up with the WHO and the HOW, in this case I couldn't separate them successfully.
