So last year was crazy for me. It was all about letting old messy drama go and setting myself up to receive new and amazing blessings. It was about learning how not to hold on to every penny and tithing just to show God how much I love Him and trust Him enough to give Him 10% back of all He’s given me and for Him to show me how much He loves me.
The hardest part of last year was letting go of the comfortable to leave room open for the unknown. I had to let go of someone who would never be good enough for me but I kept him around simply to pass the time. I was angry for a second but the reality is we all serve a purpose to each other in this short time we spend on the planet.
There are some you will see in passing, some you may just see on tv but then there are some that you will actually interact with. The ones who you will actually be in contact may just leave a footprint on your life but its up to you to decide what kind of impact that footprint will make. Will it be like the footprint left behind like the astronauts on the moon, left there in an environment with no wind or water to erase it, left forever for all to see who was there before? Or will it be like a footprint in the sand, there for a few moments until the next cleansing tide washes it away for another set of footprints to take it’s place. Will you let the past go, forgive and move forward?
Notice I said “forgive” and not “forget”. You must not forget in order to remember not to fall in the same trap you did in the past but you must not let the memory make you relive your past regrets about it. Many people think the true test of if you can move on from a situation is if you react differently if the same set of circumstances happened to you again. It’s ok to remember, just don’t let the memories keep you in the past. Always look ahead….
Let 2010 be a prosperous year for you. I believe that God has a purpose for us all. Regardless of the recession, you can thrive. You can do all the things you want to do. Go to school, lose weight, meet a mate, start a business, all of that, go for it. A test of progress: are you dealing with the same issues you were dealing with this time last year? No? Good for you! Yes? That’s ok, try again. Move forward.
You can’t do it alone, get help. It doesn’t necessarily mean you need professional help, look to your friends and family. If you are surrounded by positive, encouraging people, you will reap the benefits. Assess your hater weight. Lose all that negativity. Lose all that hater weight. If the people in your life aren’t about helping you move forward, then find new people. Stop making excuses. Start making plans. Finish your projects. Make ‘you’ your number one priority. Everything else will fall in line after that.
This is the year to handle your business. It’s time to stop whining about everything and complaining about others all the time. If you don’t like your spiritual/psychological/physical/emotional outlook, change it.
End of story.
Make 2010 the year you changed your life for the better.
DO IT.
