Happy 2011...the buck stops here!!!

Happy New Year!!! So here it is 2011, out with the old and in with the new right? This year I am going to try to set myself up for success...as I stated in my last post I'm not going on a diet, I'm not going to quit doing this or that but instead I am going to start listening to my gut! I am going to refocus my life back to where it should be, God. By doing that I hope to achieve inner and outer peace with the path that I am on, but also to feel empowered to make the most out of this life on Earth.

So... I've been doing some major thinking over these last few days of the new year and I've come to the conclusion that there is nothing worse than feeling like you have wasted your time and much less anyone else's time. And I don't mean the telling nonsense stories that have no greater meaning that just wasting ones breathe but instead I mean something larger like making peace just to avoid the fight or I'm all out of examples...maybe that is what I'm most concerned with. So from this day forward I am going to be honest first with myself and then let that flow through me to the people around me. I'm not saving anyone by trying to spare the fight because it just isn't fair.

On a completely different note I have a new perspective on career searching...I've had a ton of negative in 2010 I know it will be here to an extent in 2011 but this time around I don't have to listen to it. I need to focus on all the wonderfully supportive group of friends and close family that value me as a person and look at the best in me and stop putting so much focus on the ones that feel they need to focus on my downfalls. I read a book a couple of years ago and it discussed how it's better to work on getting your strengths better than the best instead of finding your weaknesses and making them average. When you do that nothing stands out...all around you are across the board mediocre. So for me, this year I am going to focus on the best of the best friendships I have and help them thrive. To me, I'm not interested in having a mediocre life, I know God has a bigger and better plan than I can ever imagine I just have to be ready for that and I believe by enabling strong bonds and positive thoughts flourish that I might get there right on time!!

2011 might have started off with a slightly bumpy road I am not going to let that deter me from being the best ME that I can be! So here's to all of us out there looking to reach the stars...not all of us are meant to live ordinary lives!!!

Hopeful and intrigued,

Kim
