This past year has been filled with highs and lows, ups and downs, but is that not so for most, if not all of us. I have had some wonderful experiences this past year, and some not so pleasant ones. Yet I do not want to dwelve into the past yet rather look into the bright future. Do we not all set some sort of new years resolution which within the first weeks of January have already faded into the backs of our minds only to become unwanted goals again? I say unwanted because if we were to truly be motivated to change a certain aspect of our lives, than we would not need to set such resolutions yet rather would work to any extent on achieving our goals, desires and even dreams.
“Don’t let anybody ever tell you that you can’t do something. Not even me. You got a dream, you got to protect it. People cant do something themselves, they wanna tell you that you can’t do it. You want something. Go get it. Period.”
Will Smith as Christopher Gardner in The Pursuit of Happyness
Let 2009 be such a year. No matter what struggles you are facing – financial, personal, work-related, relationships, etc. Whatever you set out to do, put your mind to it, put your body to it, but most importantly put your heart to it! I sure know that I have a lot in sight for this year, and I need to work my heart out to the fullest to reach these goals. In the end I know it is going to pay off. While others sleep, we work. While others eat, we work. While others relax and rest, we work. Remember – if you want something no matter what that may be, you go get it. Period.
Wishing everyone a blessed and succesfull 2009!
