The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
Mark Twain
It's your Year of the Knowing Pause. This is the year your gift for letting silence do the work pays off in rooms full of people scrambling to fill it. A small ritual you started almost by accident has quietly become the thing that steadies your whole week, and around March someone asks how you stay so unrattled. You will smile and keep the answer mostly to yourself. By midsummer a decision you held back on tilts your way precisely because you waited, and you get to enjoy the private thrill of having read the moment right. Twice this year, the unsaid thing turns out to be the powerful move, and you feel it land. Start the small thing now and let it grow on its own clock. The year rewards what you began and trusts you to keep your best cards close.
