As the New Year starts, my journey begins...

I got this message from my email today, sent by my auntie. Somehow it captured everything that I hope and wish for this coming New Year!

I have decided to make it my goal this year to do all the things that would make me enjoy life to the fullest. I have decided to take control of my life and to leave all the hurts of the past behind. From now on, no one can tell me what I can or cannot do. I will stay away from people who belittle my ambitions and from now on I wouldn’t compromise my own happiness.


Starting this year...


I will be the best person I can be.

I will appreciate myself more and I will not let anyone get the best of me.

I will become the fighter that I have always been.

I will go the distance. I don’t care how far!

I will keep in mind to just keep on moving on, falling forward towards my goals in life because I know that sooner or later my time will come.

I will be more accepting than tolerant with people who are different like me.

I will find my inner GODDESS until it kills me…

I will not be afraid to try it on my own.

I will live my life the way I feel.

I will seize the moment, realizing that in an instant, I have the potential to move toward each of those possibilities in which I will feel alive and see the truth of what I could become.

As the New Year starts, I will no longer worry about yesterday. It is in the past and the past will never change. Only I can change by choosing to do so.

As the New Year starts, I will no longer worry about tomorrow. Tomorrow will always be there, waiting for me to make the most of it. But I cannot make the most of tomorrow without first making the most of today.

As the New Year starts, I will look in the mirror and I will see a person worthy of my respect and admiration. This capable person looking back at me is someone I enjoy spending time with and someone I would like to get to know better.

As the New Year starts, I will cherish each moment of my life. I value the gift bestowed upon me in this world and I will unselfishly share this gift with others.

As the New Year starts, I will take a moment to step off the beaten path and to revel in the mysteries I encounter. I will face challenges with courage and determination. I will overcome what barriers there may be which hinder my quest for growth and self- improvement.

As the New Year starts, I will take life one day at a time, one step at a time.
Discouragement will not be allowed to taint my positive self-image, my desire to succeed or my capacity to love.

As the year starts, I walk with renewed faith in human kindness. Regardless of what has gone before. I believe there is hope for a brighter and better future.

As the year starts, I will open my mind and my heart. I will welcome new experiences. I will meet new people. I will not expect perfection from myself nor anyone else: perfection does not exist in an imperfect world. But I will applaud the attempt to overcome human foibles.

As the year starts, I am responsible for my own happiness and I will do things that make me happy... admire the beautiful wonders of nature, listen to my favourite music, pet a kitten or a puppy, soak in a bubble bath...

Pleasure can be found in the most simple of gestures.

As the year starts, I will learn something new; I will try something different; I will savour all the various flavours life has to offer. I will change what I can and the rest I will let go. I will strive to become the best me I can possibly be.
