In 2018

In 2018

 

As the year unfolds, I get set for all the new opportunities and challenges it brings.

Last year was a fun ride; there were a few proud accomplishments. Since then I have grown so much, it is time for a bold approach. Without having to put too much thought into what I want 2018 to blossom into, below are some things I would like to focus on:

 

1. Stop being over trusting – I meet new people all the time, and because of their engaging approach, I’m always led into believing that’s who they are. That isn’t the case most times as I have learned that people tend to sugarcoat who they are upon initially meeting someone new. Only after investing your time and emotions into a person, you see their true colors. Instead of making excuses for them you should take it for what it is.

 

2. Know that I did well and let it be – I consciously put my best foot forward and do my best at all times, but sometimes the person on the receiving end still tends to give me the cold shoulder. I am not going to worry because in the end, I know that I did well and it’s up to the person to see that.

 

3. Graduate – Going to school is rewarding but it also comes with a lot of work. The workload sometimes can be overwhelming, however I only have a few more credits to complete before I graduate. I have worked hard and made many sacrifices to be where I am right now so I am keeping my eye on the prize and pushing forward.

 

4. Find/Create more time for the ones that are near and dear to me – Last year I was continuously swamped. I barely had time for myself let alone other people. I just want the people close to me know that I love them and I’m always here for them. I will do my best to reach out more and invest my time..

 

5. Get rid of negative people – I tend to give people the benefit of the doubt. In other words forgive, forgive, forgive. But if you are not a positive influence in my life, then it is not worth keeping you. I will have to let go and move on.

 

6. More Blogging – I enjoy blogging, I love being able to connect with people and blogging is a way of doing just that. My blogs are written with a lot of care and compassion. I hope that I will be able to be much more consistent with my blogging.

 

7. Spend more time with my queen, my mom – My mom is soo precious, she has taught me the true meaning of love. Her values have resonated with me and I emulate her in more ways than I can ever think of. My time is precious and so is her time. Here’s to spending more time with her.

 

8. Health conscious – Exercise regularly, choose healthier foods, and drink more water

 

9. Be the best version of me – In a fast paced unforgiving world, it is difficult to always be happy and one can easily get lost in who you are. I want to be who I am, despite adversities or having to deal with cruel humans. My attitude changes accordingly, but the core value of who I am will not.

 

Here’s wishing you and your family a happy new year with lots of love, success and great health. I hope my goals can inspire and encourage you to have an even better 2018.
