My first post in the New Year.
First, let's take a bow and feel happy we are alive. SURPRISE ! The world didn't end in 2012!
I've been away making good of my time in the new year. I decided not to make a new year resolution, because I'm very good at breaking mine. So I've tricked myself into doing something that I didn't do last year. I decided keeping fit should take top priority. It isn't too bad. I've done well so far on that record.
After a few months sabbatical with no-job, no money and gloom. I shook myself awake and decided to get my act together. I reached out, got the help I needed and landed myself an interesting job. I've definitely got this now, 2012. The things that I carry into the new year from the last would be :
1) Honesty and Integrity
2) Beliefs and Opinions.
3) Sense of Humor plus a healthy dose of sarcasm when life squeezes me in a corner.
4)Ability to laugh at myself and get through difficult situations.
5) Independence and the inane wish to learn and grow, to soak up the best of everything.
6) Writing and Reading
7) Giving myself treats
Some things don't change. I learn things about myself everyday. I learn more about when I interact with people. Music is an important part of me, more in lyrics than in tune. But there are days of silence when even music doesn't heal. Although, it goes a long way in making me feel better.
It's day 13 today what have I learnt ?
I learn to show no weakness to people in authority. Also, it's fine to make mistakes but repeating them is an expensive commodity. Talking to people you don't like teaches you hard lessons. Making friends at parties goes a long way while networking yourself in a strange and foreign country. Investing in people and taking time to listen more and talk less helps only you.
Always picture yourself living alone, even if you're not and see if you can manage to live reasonably well. Sometimes that's a rude awakening. Everyone deals with set backs in different ways. I resort to anxiety and silence which isn't a good thing. But, I'm also strong enough to know that I bounce back on a positive note the next day. I'm still learning that every downhill run can be conquered by keeping your head high and steeling your heart against hatred and despair.
So, Cheers to 2012. May the beginning be a start to new ventures, learning, happy times and a lifetime of great memories. This time let's strive to get it right. And if we don't, don't beat yourself up.
