Twenty fourteen

Every year, I come up with list of resolutions of what I'd like to change about myself or my life, and of things that I'd like to accomplish. And every year, I never manage to see them all through, except for a few, until the end of the year.

But I won't stop making them though because I love how the symbolism of a new calendar, a new year inspires me to reflect on the year that was and start over. Again. I love how it makes me feel very hopeful and how anything seems possible. I love the idea that one day, every year, so many of us are filled with that same feeling of hope and optimism.

Allow me to share with you this quote from author Janet Rebhan. I took the liberty of breaking it down in bullet points for emphasis. It says all that I hope for in 2014 for myself and for everyone else:

"In this new year, may you have:

• a deep understanding of your true value and worth

• an absolute faith in your unlimited potential

• peace of mind in the midst of uncertainty

• the confidence to let go when you need to

• acceptance to replace your resistance

• gratitude to open your heart

• the strength to meet your challenges

• great love to replace your fear

• forgiveness and compassion for those who offend you

• clear sight to see your best and true path

• hope to dispel obscurity

• the conviction to make your dreams come true

• meaningful and rewarding synchronicities

• dear friends who truly know and love you

• a childlike trust in the benevolence of the universe

• the humility to remain teachable

• the wisdom to fully embrace your life exactly the way it is

• the understanding that every soul has its own course to follow

• the discernment to recognize your own unique inner voice of truth

• and the courage to learn to be still." 

       Have a blessed New Year, everyone! :party

P.S. It's FIFA World Cup year! :D
