In a few days, I will complete another run around the sun, another 12 months, 52 weeks, 365 days of waking up for another chance to get it all right. During our marathon around the sun, life introduces new issues or opportunities that we must learn to weather or integrate into this new life. Often, old lessons long forgotten are repackaged for our conscious mind to relearn. As long as we are making our journey around the sun, we will constantly be learning from new people, old friends, loved ones, our mistakes and all the things that we encounter; as long as we stay open minded and susceptible to learning then we are doing just fine.
Below I've compiled a list of 24 things that I've learned or relearned in this past year.
1. Help is a good thing. Although some people perceive asking for help as a weakness, it really is a strength. Acknowledging that you don't know exactly what you are doing and seeking help from someone with that experience makes a big difference. Though we may think we know everything, we don't and can't get through life alone without the help of others.
2. Just like people have helped you in the past, lend a helping hand to those that are need. If you get the cold shoulder, it's okay, just know that you did a good thing by offering your assistance.
3. You only get what you put in, if you aren't willing to put in the hard work then you can't expect any results.
4. Smile--a positive attitude makes difficult times more tolerable.
5. Believe in yourself, if you don't have any faith in yourself or your ability, you can't expect anyone to have more faith in you then you have for yourself.
6. Be honest and genuine with your intentions and motives.
7. Don't try to do everything all at once, you'll find more success by focusing on one thing at a time.
8. Never break your promises, it goes without saying, don't make promises that you can't keep.
9. Give credit when credit is due.
10. Drink water--it's your friend.
11. Leave your ego at the door! There's a fine line between arrogance and confidence, don't let the former drag your name through the mud.
12. Take responsibility for your actions.
13. Laugh at yourself, don't take everything seriously.
14. Leave the door open for second chances.
15. Don't make assumptions about anything, it only leads to unnecessary stress.
16. Exercise--your body needs love to.
17. Acknowledge the shades of gray--nothing is absolute, black or white, right or wrong.
18. Reconnect with old friends.
19. Don't let past misfortune jade your outlook on the world, negativity doesn't fit anyone well.
20. Remember to breathe when things get out of hand.
21. Make sure those that you love know how you feel about them. It's okay to tell your family, friends or your significant other that you love or how much you care about them.
22.In terms of career options, we often get caught up in what we should be doing because of other people's expectations but at the end of the day, all that matters is what we want to be doing. Follow your dreams because that's what will bring you the most fulfillment and leave you happiest.
23. Keep knocking on those doors that you want to open.
24. Try to keep an open mind, a beginners mind; embrace the excitement and enthusiasm as if you were experiencing things for the first time.
Again, it's been great writing this blog and I thank you all for reading.
All the best,
