Not everyone needs guidance for a year.
Some people are perfectly content repeating one or more.
Although occasionally (and only with certain minds) there’s a moment when the calendar stops feeling chronological and starts feeling… negotiable. When you realise strategy isn’t about planning harder, but about seeing differently. About noticing which of your decisions were yours, and which were inherited accents from environments you no longer live in.
That’s usually when a more precise kind of conversation becomes interesting. Not motivational. Not corrective. Something more tailored.
The sort of space where patterns are examined the way a curator studies a painting, from a distance first, then up close, then sideways, until what looked obvious reveals its architecture.
It’s not for everyone. It’s for people who are just curious about what would happen if they functioned on purpose.
Expatriates tend to recognise that feeling fastest. Perhaps because once you’ve changed countries, you suspect identities might be movable too.
Anyway.
Some years are lived.
Others are… designed.
You can usually tell which one you’re in.
Or how do you see it?
