It's exactly six months to the year today and at the beginning of the year I remember we all spoke about our failures, success, achievements, milestones for the previous year and also set some resolutions for the new year. So I thought just let me take a moment and reflect to where do I stand in this half year journey. A self assessment time and again is always good.

2017 was a year of many changes in my life, many new things came and gave me a direction to move ahead in life. So I made a promise to myself that I am not going to look back and only move ahead come may whatever.

If I review each one of them to where I stand, I see all of them have progressed very well.

1. Learn more about Healing work and also grow in my work

This has been extremely fulfilling for me. I have managed to learn new modalities, the most important one working on Addiction cases. I am now working on 2 cases with severe addiction of smoking, and thankfully I am seeing good difference to both of them. Though this is a long process and it takes time to see complete results, but I am sure I will be able to help recover both of them. I managed to work with a few Children with issues of retaining memory and I am glad they are moving forward well. My biggest achievement was resolving one of the case with psychological issues of a boy with his parents. This one took almost a year and a half but finally the results have come and the family is together again in a loving and happy manner. The most unexpected thing that came to me was the Astrology learning, which was not planned. I am not at all a master in this area and I have a long way to go but the journey has begun. So in all I can say that I have done a lot in this area and I am very happy and satisfied with the way things are moving.

2. Travel to New Places

This one is always very close to my heart. I love and enjoy travelling. Travelling is the most fulfilling experience one can have. I traveled to Iran, it was a long holiday and I visited the length and breadth of the country. Iran is a very beautiful place and I am glad I got an opportunity to travel there. I also visited some spiritual places which was again one peaceful experience for me. Within Oman I am almost travelling out every weekend (not in the summers) and then my on and off travel to India is always there. My friends sometime tell me "You have wheels on your feet"...hahaha. For the remaining part of the year I do not have any big destination travel plan but yes I will be going around to nearby places for sure.

3. Grow my network on Steemit and increase my earnings

Steemit has been one good journey for me. The year began very well. I managed to have some good earnings and grow my network. The first three months went very well, but the last 3 months I have seen a lot of downside and a drastic decrease in my earnings. 2 reasons one being the price of steem has come down and the other some of the supporters chose to withdraw. Both are inevitable and they will always be a part of the steemit journey. The price fluctuations are always going to be there and no one is going to support you permanently. People will come and go, so one needs to be prepared for that.
What saddens me is that when you are doing good people make you their best friends and when you go low, they even stop replying to you on discord. To an extent I try to keep connecting with them just not to get votes but also to maintain a relation but when I see they do not even have the courtesy to reply back even after so much of following up, I decide to give up on them completely. That's where you also get to know who are your genuine followers. I am glad I still have a handful of them and I am happy with what I have.
But overall I enjoy writing on Steemit and connecting with people. I agree I am not very good in the presentation part of my blogs and I have still not explored the video, which is one work around area for me. But I promise my followers I will be working on both of them. 😍

I am not sure what the remaining part of the year is bringing in for me. The next 2 months are a little tied up with domestic things. We are doing a house shifting so this month is going to be completely tied up with that and the next month is again a month of travel back home to Mumbai and a lot of things to be done there.
And I hope that the Crypto market sees some improvement so that we can see some good times back again on steemit and for other Cryptos too.
