Now being who I am, I started to wonder if these people realized that in 2011 there were still: 12 months, 365 days, 7 days a week and 24 hours in a day! I say that to say, what the hell is the difference between what you did or didn’t do last year and what you think will happen this year.
While I can sympathize with some of the things that might of happened to people throughout 2010, I hope they understand that 2011 won’t make them exempt from the same SHIT.
A new year doesn’t automatically mean a new attitude.
A new year doesn’t mean that whatever problems you faced today will not exist tomorrow.
A new year doesn’t mean that all the people you felt did you wrong in 2010 will apologize and kiss your behind for 2011.
A new year doesn’t mean that the 30 pounds you’ve been trying to lose for the past year will miraculously melt away at the stroke of midnight.
So much of life and the obstacles it tends to bring is about how we react to it. I've learned that no matter how bad things may be, there are always lessons and blessings in each trail. I also know that although things may seem to come at us from all different directions, if we would just choose to be hopeful and optimistic about tomorrow, the battle doesn't last as long.
2010 was a good year for me, I’m just praying that 2011 and the years to come will be filled with more happy days than sad, more money saved than spent, and more love gained than lost.
So here’s my challenge: Stop looking forward to the end of a year to make changes for the new one. Every day that you are blessed to open your eyes is a new opportunity to make a change. Take the necessary steps each day to fulfill your dreams, live abundantly, and make a difference!
Not one to make New Year’s resolutions but I am one to set goals. I’ve already listed the things that I plan to accomplish in the coming year! Have you?
As for me, I'm cocked and loaded; determination and a will to secure a future for my son and myself are my ammunition.
Let’s Go~
