Leave all past decisions and failures behind in life. Take the good from experiences and apply them to create a good future for yourself. Do not hold yourself down by focusing on how things can't work out; stay positive for the things to come.

"A goal without a deadline is just a dream." Set up a plan and follow it. Make it baby steps to ease the intensity. Do at least one thing towards your goal each week or each day. Don't overwhelm yourself. Don't beat yourself up if you lose track. Take a deep breath, forgive yourself, and immediately start again.

Live each and every day to the fullest. I always remember the saying 'Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, and today is a gift. That's why they call it the present.'

Start the year off by creating goals, something that you actually plan on seeing come to fruition. Then plaster those goals everywhere, over you bed, in your car, bathroom mirror. Where ever, you can't hit a target you can't see!

A new year always brings new changes, new goals, and new challenges in ones live. This year instead of setting a new years resolution that always seem to slip from our fingertips come February, provide positive words and encouragement for someone else. This is advice and changes that can be made to any part of your life and by applying a little bit each day they will soon become a habit and a way of life. I asked a pletuhar of people 'If you would give advice to a large group of people what would it be?' And these are the answers that followed: I wish my friends, family, and followers a blessed 2015 filled with open doors, new opportunities, and pure joy. The pressure with a new year comes the idea of becoming a new you. That seems very stressful and almost impossible to obtain. My advice for the new year is you don't need to recreate a whole new 'you'. Rather take what makes you who you are and make that shine brighter than 2014. Feel free to share your new year advice below. #NewYearNewAdvice

Through the sale tags, hot new electronics, and the best seller toy on the shelf the joy of Christmas starts to have a price tag on it. Christmas time is measured by the number of gifts under the trees and who got that designer brand this year. But what is Christmas really supposed to be all about?
Instead of counting the numbers of gifts under the tree this morning, I spent my Christmas morning skyping my brother who lives miles away. This Christmas wasn't about the new clothes I got but the faces I got to see this Christmas morning. Over the past year I have realized how blessed this life truly is. And the joy I find everyday giving the gift of love to my family and friends. It's a gift that is looked over and just expected. Can you recall the last time you gave someone your undivided attention and said 'I love you' or a genuine 'Merry Christmas'. It's a gesture that rolls off the tongue without a true thought behind it. It's deed that is shared specifically with ones who experience tragedy or loss but instead of this one day of gratitude, it should be shared 365 days a year. Put the gifts aside for a moment this morning and celebrate life by sharing love this Christmas morning I expressed my love for family and friends this holiday by crafting gifts for those important people in my life. I spent time brainstorming crafts that suit each person and created something as a holiday gift. It added a more personal touch to each gift and was my way of showing my love and thanking them for being in my life. I wish everyone a very Merry Christmas this season and to take an extra moment to call someone you've been meaning to call. There simply isn't enough good in the world but it only takes one person to bring upon a smile across a face. #HappyHolidays2014 You have one month to finish the book of 2014. Make the last chapter a perfect one.Twenty Fifteen. Another year under my belt and a new one awaits around the corner. It's hard to say what the new year has in store for me and sometimes it's almost impossible to predict it but for now I focus on the book I am writing right in front of me. 1. Michael Buble referred to me as his girlfriend at the Rockefeller Center in New York City. If you were to have asked me two years ago if I was happy, I would have probably smiled and nodded my head in agreement. But in reality deep down I didn't feel like I had a destination point ahead or a light to guide me where I was supposed to go. I felt lost. I kept searching for the path that was meant for me and got caught up in living in the future rather than where I was at that moment. I spaced out and never focused on what was lying right in front of me. This waiting for a change to happen in my life lead me to missed opportunities and chances to learn from others and grow as an individual. Change can be scary but that first step towards making that change is just the beginning of a life full of risk taking moments that will begin to define who you are and where you supposed to be. I am here to tell you to make the change today.
My lifestyle changed upon moving to Grand Rapids and I couldn't be happier with my decision. I was forced to live on my own, find things I love, and most importantly meet new people. I spent the first semester reaching out to different clubs and organizations trying to see where I felt I belonged. It was hard -- yes I did cry some nights and I could have ran home the next day but I refused to cave. This is strength and will power I never knew I had in myself until the moment I threw myself out there, if I fell I always found the courage to pick myself up and try again. Through this process I have learned to listen to my heart when making decisions and constantly live in the moment. It's the moments of change and new situations that flourish moments of pure energy to make a change in order to make yourself happy. Now I find myself loving life more than ever and never waste a minute without a smile. National Suicide Prevention Week is about sharing your story and bringing yourself to the surface. Everyone has been through their ups and downs of life and I find it important to understand everyone's story. The purpose of providing awareness for depression and mental health is to know that hope is real. Everyone has a story to live but no one else can play your part. We are all unique -- different thoughts, feelings, talents, weakness, and strengths and what we have to offer to the world no one else has. Take this week to share stories of people, family, friends, stories of hard times and good times, and stories of dreams of a better tomorrow. Help build a community of where you feel loved and welcomed and realize we are only humans, humans who make mistakes and learn we are no different from anyone else. And remember the story is yours and no one else can play your part. No one else can play my part because there is no other person in the world with my exact combination of compassion, determination, strength, and stubbornness. #NoOneElse14 What's your part? |
