It doesn’t matter which goals you achieve as long as you have done something you’re proud of! 💛
☀️

☀️
At the beginning of this year I was so set on these 3 things 🤩 This was gonna be my year of setting goals and achieving them! 🏆 and I did NOT 😂 At least not the goals I set for myself at the beginning of this year 😅 And I’m really okay with that 😊
☀️
☀️
☀️
Just because I didn’t achieve these 3 things doesn’t mean I didn’t do things and achieve things 👩‍🔬 I’m still a great scientist! 🤓 I have fun at work and I’m learning what my niche is within my company 🧬 I exercise far more regularly than I did during my PhD 💪🏼 and I even ran a half marathon 🏃🏼‍♀️ THAT’S AN ACCOMPLISHMENT ALL ON IT’S OWN 🤩 
☀️
☀️
☀️
So no, things did not turn out the way I planned them 😂 But they still turned out great! 🤩 and I’m proud of everything I’ve managed to do in 2025 😊 and this will not stop me from setting goals for 2026 😁 it’s good to have a starting point and I can’t wait to see where the new year will take me!! 🥰
