A New Year, A New Resolution!

A new year is upon us and like many people, I am wondering where the heck 2009 went! It seems like just yesterday in which we were bringing in 2009 and now we are bringing in 2010?! Yes, that's how fast time is flying and why the more important that we do not waste any precious moment of it.

A couple days ago, I was reminiscing on some of my personal milestones throughout this past year and it hit me how many days I squandered this past year for reasons that I have decided are not rational enough to justify. Too many days I spent being lazy, doing things that I have absolutely no interest in and not enough days doing the very things that make my blood rush and feel me with happiness and excitement. Now I am not ungrateful to the many blessings that were bestowed upon me by the Lord and the wonderful people in my lives and people I recently crossed paths with, however, I will not justify the days, the times and the opportunities that I let sift through my life.

That is why I am making the resolution for 2010 to live life from now like everyday is my last day! I will not succumb to a humdrum daily routine, but I will make every day in my life count. I will pursue my ambitions like I have never pursued them before and I will not let my insecurities, irrelevant criticisms or obstacles shield me from my dreams. I will live happy and free and accept every bad experience, failure, heartbreak or downfall as a natural part of being alive and a building block to a better, happier and stronger me. I will also keep family and friends close and enemies closer and I will make every effort to let them know how much I appreciate them in my life. I will reach out to those less fortunate than I am to positively touch their lives.

But most importantly...I will be happy and content in my skin. I will accept myself as I am with all the beauties and flaws. I will accept the fact that I am a daughter of God and He has put on this Earth for purposes greater than I am and He will guide and protect me till the end. No matter what, no evil will touch me as long as I have my Father and He will always be there for me, watching and protecting me. So I will not be afraid of any man or anything as long as I have my Father with me.

A new year is upon us, live happy, live free! Follow your heart, chase your dreams because life is too short to do otherwise! Happy New Year Everyone and God Bless.
