What can you do today that you were not capable of doing a year ago?

I am that lame person who reads those motivating quotes related to adventure and living a fulfilled life. But I am not that annoying person who posts them on Facebook. Ok, maybe once in a while. Haha.

I planned my whole Europe trip based on something I read like ‘When was the last time you did something for the first time?’ and ‘What would you do if you were not afraid to fail?’ And just like that, on a total whim, I decided to travel.

Recently I read something else which is eating me up – ‘What can you do today that you were not capable of doing a year ago?’ I am not too sure. I have not acquired any new skills. I wanted to learn how to drive but that didn’t happen. This year I am going to do it. Pakka! I wanted to learn pottery, I enquired about some studios that teach, but that again didn’t work out. I also enquired about learning a new language, and well, you get the drift. I didn’t do anything new or extraordinary last year, except that long trek to Tiger’s nest in Bhutan (I was never a mountain person). Other than that, is there anything I can do today which I couldn’t last year? I have tried different kinds of green teas and freshly brewed coffees in last one year...so...mmm…I am on my path to become some sort of connoisseur? Does that count? Ugh who am I kidding! Ekdam #fail

It’s amusing how you stay the same on a day-to-day basis, but one year later when you look back you realize that you are not quite the same person anymore. Circumstances change and you change with that. So I am definitely a different person from what I was in Jan 2015. But I can’t point out exactly what has changed. Someday perhaps this blog will help me figure that out.

So, tell me, what can you do today that you were not capable of doing a year ago?
