HAPPY NEW YEAR!
I’m looking forward to 2019. I know it may be a bit cliche to feel like the new year will be your year. But, I really do believe this year will be mine.
Let me back up a bit, the past three years…have not been my years. Ironically, I believed back then as well, on January 1st, that I was going to have a wonderful 365 days. I was mistaken. Don’t get me wrong, each year had something good/positive happen. But the good was far outweighed by the bad. I don’t think that in 2019 I will be immune to unfortunate circumstances, negative experiences and people. In fact, diving head first into new career ventures, I expect it. However, I believe that is it because I am jumping into new things, that this year will be amazing. I’m not sitting back and hoping things will happen, I’m going out there and making them happen.
This newfound sense of confidence and motivation did not come out of thin air. As mentioned in “Prologue”, this blog/career change(s), was conceived two years ago. It literally took me 730+ days (and lots of motivation from someone very dear to me) to finally feel like I am capable of pursuing my dreams. It took a long time for me to build this confidence and drive. And now that I have actually gotten started, I’m not stopping anytime soon.
This year will for sure have its adversities. I actually had a few encounters with things today that showed me the path to peace, happiness and fulfillment will not be easy. I have unresolved issues from not just the last three years, but my whole life. And we all know, the road to success is always under construction. There will be mistakes and breakdowns. Some things will malfunction while others will stop functioning altogether. That’s okay. Obstacles and failures are all part of the strenuous journey to success. I am ready to conquer it all. I am ready to make constant repairs and adjustments. 2019, I will be relentless in the pursuit of my dreams.
It’s my year.
