The New Year is going to be upon us in less than 10 hours and it's going to be the time for
many people examine themselves with questions like, “What will the next twelve months hold in
store for me, my loved ones, the world? What could I do to become a better person? Can I Achieve what I want ?Let it be anything but the most important thing is to ensure that whatever that we want to achieve is vital & important for our life. Above all , we also need to ensure our resolutions will not fall by the wayside by the end of January :-)
Today, for me I just want to reflect some aspects of my 2013. 2013 was definitely an awesome and great year for all of us, Yes it is for sure because it would have taught us at least one lesson which strike us not to repeat some mistakes that we used to do. That one lesson can be a lesson for life or even lesson for the season. The ultimate part is, it taught us something. This mean life has given a chance to learn something and we a better in our way.That's what i meant by 2013 was awesome!
I always had some good resolutions all this while but it was just another ordinary year where my resolutions remained resolutions and another new year is already here . Below are just my very own lessons learned and I would be glad if there is something that you can pick up from them
PRIORITY OF LIFE
Life is all about having priority. All of us are busy and we have own tasks/objectives/targets to do
where it can mean nothing to others.This is something very easy to understand but hard to be accepted .When people don't seems to respect our priority, it hurts us but another reminder comes along , we need to understand the priority of others.Failing to understand this will raise our expectations and expectations are not met , we tend to blame world around us.Respect peoples priority and eventually our priority will be respected. Let 2013 be the last time we fail to differentiate our & other priorities.Understanding this priority will definitely make our 2014 a better year for us
STAYING POSITIVE
Recently a friend of mine posted in Facebook on being neutral where we do not need to be extremely happy or sad but its better not to be inclined to either one side, sad or happy, be in the middle instead -neutral. I agree to this partially but what I have learned this year 2013 is to stay positive. Miss universe 2005 , Natalie Glebova in her final question said her most challenging thing in her life to try try to stay positive and I agree or i shall say AGREE.This is not something new for all of us. Determine to be positive and just see the bright side of things and trying to walk the talk but after few days it just like "hot hot chicken shit" back to the normal life full of negative energy and life of complaining is very common.The one and only reason why this never become practical for most of us is thing did not turnout in the way we want .However there is saying , if things do not happen according to our wish then , God / Universe have something better inn store for us . Putting this aside , choose to see the positive sides only makes us feel good and eventually feel better as there is always light at the end of the tunnel. Let the light is found in 2014.
GRATITUDE
The word "Thank you" hold a great power and is the best way of conveying out gratitude to anyone at anytime but How many times we have said it? Thank you for our daily food , when we reach a location safely , something that we plan happened accordingly , our loved ones smile at us for no reason , someone along the way made us smile on our rough day , and above all when we opened our eyes every morning to witness another brand new day. Most of the time things are taken for granted .
Eckhart Tolle in his book A New Earth: Awakening to Your Life's Purpose says Acknowledging the good that you already have in your life is the foundation for all abundance and I'm totally agree with that and it is one of the best lesson learned throughout 2013.Thank you is not just a mere way of saying I appreciate what you have given me but it hold a majestic meaning where I truly appreciate what I have received and I'm ready to receive more of it in abundance . May we continue to receive abundance in 2014
I found the following few quotes which are very Apt as we nearing 2014 and full with spirit to implement new year resolution
- Be the change you wish to see in the world - Gandhi
- Thankfulness is the beginning of gratitude. Gratitude is the completion of thankfulness.Thankfulness may consist merely of words. Gratitude is shown in acts. - Henri Frederic Amiel
- Talking about our problem is our greatest addiction . Break the Habit . Talk bout your joys - Rita Schiano
- Worrying will never change the outcome
- You are a victim of your own mind
- Choosing to be positive e and having grateful attitude is going to determine how you are going to live your live - Joel Osteen
- H.O.P.E - Hold on pain ends
These are just some of the insights based on what I faced in 2013 along with many other issues. As many people are ready with their resolution , I'm ready with mine too and determined I am to fulfill them , YES I WILL & Best wishes to all you who is reading this.
Happy New year 2014 peeps !!
