Another year has passed, another lesson learned, another goal set, perhaps even the same one you weren’t able to achieve in 2018. Another joyful, heartwarming memory made, perhaps even memories, another loss, yet a new chance to gain. 2019 is here; we have 365 new chances to make it work, we have 365 new chances to achieve all we’ve been hoping and wishing for. Whether 2018 was your year where you were able to reach whatever you’ve been aiming for or not, I am proud of you. You’ve come this far, you’ve worked hard, and at the end of the day no matter what the outcome was, you were still able to hold on to a little smile on your face and I believe that that itself is an accomplishment.
Look at 2019 like it’s a new flower blooming in a field full of wilted roses and damaged grass. Let 2019 be the year where you regrow your garden and watch it bloom again. Treat yourself the way you’d treat that garden of yours. Leave the fallen leaves and wilted roses as a symbol of strength, use them as your source of power, the source that will make you rise and give you the motivation to do more and push yourself to the limits in order to feel relief towards the end of that journey. Water your plants and grow with them as they flourish and bring color to your field.
You can either make 2019 the most phenomenal year you’ve had by far and truly get to say “I am proud of myself” and mean it, or lose hope from the start and leave things as they are on the shelf. One thing I do know is that you can do it, whatever it is you can and you will achieve it once you gain confidence and believe in what you’re telling yourself. Close your eyes for a moment, silence the voices around you, think of the exact target you are trying to reach and set a simple little plan you can follow in order to reach it.
Most importantly, remember that you have a purpose. It could really be as simple as making someone smile or bringing joy into the hearts of those who need it the most. Be kind, humble, gentle, loving, caring and, most importantly, be you because you are all of the things I’ve mentioned before and even more. You can make a change in your life and someone else’s life this year.
2019, we are ready for whatever challenges you hold for us! Happy new year everybody!
