Happy New Year! It’s here. I am always so thankful when it comes around, not because it erases the past year, nor because it is a chance to start over- honestly, every day is a chance to start over (every day is fresh with no mistakes in it)- I think I love the change of year, because it always brings me into new sight.
The change of year makes me take inventory of the past year, see the value in it, itemize the successes, the lessons, compare where I thought I would be last year at this time to where I am today. When I do this, I see growth and I see the opportunity for more growth - which is the exciting and fresh part!
I’m not a big resolution person - as I said above, every day you can change your life. What I am big on, is understanding what this year will mean for your personal journey in life; if you understand that, you make the minor changes along the way that people often categorize as resolutions (running more often, seeing more movies, making time for friends, writing, etc.). I don’t like resolutions, if at some point you stop going to the gym because your life gets busy, your resolution becomes a failure. We have to be adaptable because we can never be certain what life will throw at us. What we can control in the next year and in our life, is the kind of person we want to develop into.
Put on fresh glasses! (I actually found a steal on my new Balenciaga’s, so I think this metaphor was meant to be). What kind of a year is it for you? Who do you see yourself as? Let's make positive life choices and be gentle on ourselves in the small things, and let's grow on the greater whole.
