2013 was quite a year for me. I left one position to pursue another, had it fall through, and picked up where I could. I haven't done anywhere near as much in my MK business as I could have, but I do not feel a sense of regret and "Oh-I-should-haves" hanging over my head. The biggest success this year was beginning my book in February. Now, on the fin...al day of the year, I am not quite finished, but I have hit the climax and plan on finishing the first draft by the end of this coming February. For years, I've believed and somewhat acted like a writer and now I've fully come into the commitment of it and it is very empowering to know you really are who you've always believed yourself to be. Beyond the book, I've delved even further into fitness and overall health and wellness and have developed myself into being a person I love being. The only thing I would really change is that I stop over-analyzing things and that I stop spending so much time on Facebook (...).
I do not believe in doing New Year's Resolutions, because I believe people set themselves up for failure. The start of the year, the week, or the month are the most frequent times people try to start something new or change who they are. I began my novel in February, I began exercising regularly two Novembers ago, and I decided to be truly honest with myself sometime in August. But although I do not do resolutions simply because the new year is here, just like I don't really do presents just because society dictates that is what we should do on Christmas and birthdays, I will say this: 2013 had it's ups and downs as every year does. I'm certainly no where near the position in life I want to be but despite economical issues, I feel I'm steadily on the path to be the person who I know I always have been and it's absolutely fabulous. What I can promise myself, as well as to you all, that 2014 will be lived with vigor, with peace of mind, with faith and belief in myself - with patience for myself to know that I don't have to make all decisions RIGHT NOW, and that it is perfectly fine to change my mind, and without a hefty amount of procrastination or self-doubt. Who knows what it'll ring in, but I have a very positive expectation of what this new year is to bring -- my life is only going to get better.
Happy New Year!
