Obligatory end of the year post; Im not planning on posting anything on New Years besides the usual. This year was the fastest-passing year of my entire life. Starting 2014 came with so many goals and Ive achieved all of them. I always want to challenge myself when making resolutions-- never wanting to commit to things that are easy to achieve. This year I focused on three big aspects of my life; school, work, and my family. The past few years I may have neglected some of those portions which led me to some confusion with my life. I took a big step away from a life involving relationships that meant more than just a friendship. Well, Ive learned that its far more effective to keep four quarters than one-hundred pennies. People start to weigh you down, use you for things that arent in your plan for success, and make you feel different in ways that your life does not agree with. A majority of people will roll their eyes and scoff at the fact that Im actually writing about this-- but its important to ME--and quite frankly, thats all that matters. Every year, I have one quote I try to incorporate my life with. This year I chose one from the movie; Her. I can over-think everything and find a million ways to doubt myself. Ive been thinking about that part of myself and Ive just come to realize that were only here briefly. While Im here, I want to allow myself JOY. -Amy Adams This really isnt a quote that says, Live life to the fullest, but more of one that describes the will to do what makes you happy in your life and dont let others opinions about you affect that happiness. Thats beautiful to me. So this upcoming year gets that platform. Walking directly out of my comfort zone also allowed me to discover all the hidden parts of me that havent been found yet. I guess time will show these hidden parts. 2014 allowed me to meet some people in my life that Id never thought Id get the chance to meet. You know who you are-- and I believe that well be a part of each others lives for a pleasurable amount of time. :) Ive challenged myself with work as well. Now leading a department with the most talented group of co-workers, I couldnt have asked for a more fulfilling opportunity. Coming up on three years at a place Id never thought Id survive one, Best Buy has held a good place in my life. I can say without a doubt that my co-workers are a major part of my success and happiness at that establishment. Even though I moved away from home (I always act like its so far away from me), I always manage to keep my family as close as they were before. They provide THE MOST love, and educational and emotional support I can ask for but not necessarily deserve. Theyre the ones I can ask advice for just about anything, and not one person bat a single eye. I couldnt have done a majority of this without Christ. Unfortunately I moved away from a life that he was primarily involved in. With every meal, every obstacle, every detriment in my life, I used to ask him to help me get back on my feet. I plan to get back in that notion. Im not finishing this over-written status with, New Year, New Me. Im finishing this with the continuing effort to make my life something worth living and to transform myself into something thats incredible. Its not about being loved widely, its more about being loved deeply. I hope everyone has an incredible holiday season and I trust the outcome of 2015 will be one everyone deserves.
