I end every year with a reflection of the past year and a true evaluation of what I want to happen in the upcoming year. 2010 was all about “Purging & Planning”. During this year I really got to know myself and tried to improve on the characteristics that I don’t necessarily find admirable,but most importantly tried to rid myself of the toxic situations, people, and limitations around me.
This year I see a shift in gears and really feel like if I stay focused I will see all of my hard work begin to pay off. Also, in 2011 I refuse to be the one adding value to everyone’s lives and situations. This sounds selfish, but it’s necessary. If something or someone can’t compliment or better my position in life spiritually and/or mentally then there is no need for them to be present. In my industry a lot of things revolve around illusions like the type of car you drive, the handbags you have,etc. but with the death of so many loved ones this year I’ve realized that none of that matters. When I die, the cars will be sold, the house will be put up for auction, and all of my personal belongings will be rummaged through. So why spend time chasing these things instead of improving the content of my character which is something no one can take or deny even in death? I’d rather spend time engaged in conversation, laughing, learning, loving, and truly cherishing my core group rather than chasing material things and pleasing everyone around me.
With that being said I present the theme of 2011 (for me at least)…
Change the Momentum & Upgrade Me.
