The Countdown to Midnight

A New Year. Smells like second chances. Take one on yourself.

2013 has come and gone so incredibly fast, it was almost too hard let go.

I've been reflecting on this past year, on the person I want to become and just how to get there. On the successes, and failures. The love and the losses. The adventures made and moments savored. When I really think about it, it all comes down to love. What you put out, you receive right back..

This year I have finally understood this. I have learned after many life lessons, you are your words and thoughts. If you think, but do not do, you will achieve nothing. If you put in the action and just have a little faith, you'll succeed in every way.

Just like your outfit for the day, you choose your attitude. Blame is just a tool. And so is forgiveness. Once you walk out that door, know you have the power to make someone smile. Your life will be made up of small kind moments. Don't forget, there will always be Karma.

So remember, whatever you do, do it with love.

you gave a kick, I gave a slap.

What are you doing Gen-U-Y to change that?

How do you ever expect to get anywhere in life, if you are always lying to yourself? Being accountable means not only sticking to your word, but meaning what you say. Be honest with yourself. Are you really happy? Are you doing your best every day to get yourself ahead? Are you surrounding yourself with positive people? Say what you mean, and mean what you say. It is that simple. Really. Why make something so simple so complex?
Also, another concept that has just dawned on me. Results. Our generations sick obsession with results and seeing them as fast as possible. Do you not realize results come last? It's your actions that get you those awesome results. And solid, positive actions compounded over time to get you the results you want. Time. Are you wasting your time? Did you surf the internet to learn new, extraordinary things? Or were you on Facebook for a combination of 2 hours today creeping "friends" pages, when they most likely weren't your "friends" anyways? Are you doing anything, ANYTHING positive right now that will get you just that much farther ahead then that person you dislike or can't stand? What are you doing that will better you 5 years from now? 10 years from now? Does commitment frighten you? Committing to little (what seems like insignificant tasks now) WILL benefit you eventually. Pile of clothes you said you'd put away Saturday still sitting on your bedroom floor? Has your mother asked you, not once, not twice, but three times to do your laundry? You realize, that doing laundry is a small simple task that will only give you confidence to complete something else. Complete. To complete something. If you have tasks, requests, chores etc, that need completing, GO DO THEM! Having an incomplete task is something that ties you to the past. It's holding you back. Its seems so little. However, doing these little things, everyday will get you just a little bit farther ahead.

Go look in a mirror and ask yourself some skill testing questions.
Am I where I want to be?
What am I doing right now that is significant, not just to me, but to other people?
Am I accountable?
Am I friendly?
Are all my relationships positive and full of life?
Are my finances where I need them to be?

Look at yourself.
Really, look at yourself.

This is more of a "note to self." 

ONE.

Not something I need to justify.

It just is..

Wake UP

So, I went to get a Tarot Card reading done yesterday and it was really eye opening for me. Taught me a lot about myself and it was a huge insight into my being. How I need to be the one to take my own advice. About finding my inner truth.
A lot of the same cards came up.
The Hermit
Queen of Cups
Queen of Swords
Heriophant
Traveler
Empress

Most of my discussion had a lot to do with the relationship I have with my mother. I love her to death, but wow has this ever changed my prospective on things and has forced me to come to terms about the decisions I have yet to make. No more excuses.

/embarrassing

I always do this... 

if there is one thing I have learned..

..on this journey of mine, its that forgiveness is a key element towards finding happiness. Forgiveness for others actions, forgiveness towards yourself. It's all apart of 'letting it go.' You cannot fully appreciate and love the moment if you're still holding onto the past. If you're regretting something, holding a grudge, or just stubborn.


 Let it go, and love will flow.

appreciate.

understanding

I have come to a strange realization just now; I am only completely comfortable with myself, if I am with someone (or a group of people) who are completely comfortable with themselves. 




Eureka!
