Personal year 9: release

The ninth year closes the cycle. Whatever has served its time leaves: a job, a relationship, things, beliefs, roles. Sometimes it is sad, but it clears the ground for a new year one. The best strategy is to finish consciously, with gratitude, rather than waiting for life to do it for you.
