Life is rife with disappointment, pain and heartache. Its also full of beauty, joy and hope. Perhaps we reach a point in life where we look back and it wasnt the road we envisioned for ourselves. At all. Perhaps we didnt achieve that job posting, or relationship, or financial security. Perhaps death took away loved ones. Perhaps weve been caught in a painful relationship or difficult or unwanted job. This, though, is the now. Now you have a chance to make a change, hope for the better and plan for it. What did you change or achieve last year of which you are proud? It doesnt have to be a score of things, just one thing....for me, it was sobriety which has given me clarity and peace. What was it for you? When Ive been down, this song by Journey has given me courage, hope, inspiration and tenacity. This New Years Day, it does the same. Pulls me up from worry over ALL that I still want to achieve in life. Worry that suffocates if, I let it. When I realize that I dont have to worry about all those things, I feel relief. So - pick out one thing from last year which you achieved, which gave you joy, courage, hope and inspiration. Let that sink in and give you a smile, right at this moment. Think of one thing that would bring you happiness this year, something you could realistically achieve. Now, plan for it. Repeat it to yourself at night before you go to bed. When possible, let go the worry about all the little things you must do, didnt do, or shouldnt have done when you go to sleep or rise. When you rise, wipe the cobwebs from your brain and see that one thing clearly. As Journey says, Keep on Believin.
