Welcome to 2014!

Happy New Year Everyone!
 


The first day of the new year is here. With 2013 ending with graduating from college, I really feel that this year is the beginning of a chapter in my life. I didn't really make any resolutions but there are many things that I want to try more of this year. I'm excited for this new chapter of life and I really like that it's kind of beginning as the new year begins. I'm still on the search for what's next in my life but with determination and hope I know I'm going somewhere and it's going to be great. I am black excellence!

This year I want to read more. I say this especially because I wasn't always able to read for fun while I was in school. I read a lot of great books that were assigned to me and I'm so glad that I was able to read so many great books but I have a very long list of books that I've wanted to read for a long time so I really want to put a dent into that list. I'm also looking for more books to put on the list. I can't wait to explore the book world again and not worry about how it will interfere with my schoolwork.

I want to write more because I can and it means a lot to me.

I want to hold on to positivity and reject negativity to the best of my ability.

Most importantly, I want to dream more. I want to focus on my dreams and my visions. I'm probably going to make a vision board this year. I've always thought they were pretty cool and I think it will really help me focus on my goals this year.

I sincerely hope that 2014 is good to you. I hope you get what you want from this year. All my good thoughts and wishes go out to you for this year.

courage

"Courage is like a muscle. We strengthen it with use."
-- Ruth Gordon


I need to use my courage muscle a lot more. I do use it often but most of the times I'm over thinking and get myself really worried about what other people will think of my actions even though I really shouldn't. It's not at all healthy. Like Dr. Seuss said, "the people who mind, don't matter and the people who matter don't mind" but sometimes I just can't get that through my head. I think it's because in my mind, almost everyone I encounter matters in my life but if some of them are going to judge me and hurt me then I can't try to live a life trying to please them. One sure fire way to hurt yourself is trying to please everyone so I'm going to have to work on that. I know that I can't please everyone and I need to stop trying. This is my life and I need to be corageous enough to live it for me. I'm not trying to be selfish but I can't really make others happy unless I'm happy myself.
