Happy New Year
January 1, 2010
For me, New Years Eve used to bring a compilation of emotions, but truth be told it was usually sadness. Fear that another year has passed yet I was still the same. I questioned if I was playing this game of life right. Most often doubting that I was. In these moments I focused mainly on the negative, refusing to see any form of light or any sense of good.
This year, I forced myself to be happy, excited and proud for the year to come. I no longer saw the New Year as a reminder of everything I was doing wrong but as an opportunity to see all that I had done right.
As the crystal ball began its decent, I reflected on the year. With gratitude, I was able to be thankful and humble for everything I had at this point in my life. Feelings and worries of not having enough vanished. It is with this trust I have in myself that I know no matter what I will make it work.
The world no longer controls my interpretation of happiness. I have gleamed alternatively that I am the only one who controls my perspective in this world. It is with this acceptance I take responsibility for my own happiness and ask myself, “Why not?”
Happy New Years and I hope you all have an amazing 2010!
