Happy New Year: This could help with new year resolutions

Happy new year!

I always love new years, they always present an opportunity to start over afresh... newly, and to do things differently, and to probably make the old year's wrongs right. At the beginning of every year, I always realize that I am growing older (probably because my birthday is in January)... and that days are moving. Time waits for no king.

 I think that this is the year to take risks, to stand up on your ground and accept the consequences that come along with the risks. Everything is so risky and so scary, and yet at the same time, so beautiful. Maybe the truth is that it shouldn't be easy to be amazing. If it was easy to be amazing,then everything would be. It's the things you fight for and struggle with before earning that have the greatest worth.What wonderful thing didn't start out scary.

Courage isn't the absence of fear, it's just deciding that fear isn't calling the shots anymore.

Letting go of the familiar can be scary. But it frees you up for all the good stuff!

It is important, this year, to be yourself. Being someone else can be tiresome, and its not worth it. Furthermore, who will be you? God had a reason for having you in this world. Don't be someone else.

You cannot have a private relationship in a public arena. You must look to an inner circle of people who really know you. Don’t expect to have that kind of intimate relationship with people who only know you publicly. Do not seek to be understood by the world. I'll not lie. I fear falling in love, and yes, I fear being vulnerable to the person I allow into my heart. I know I suck at giving relationship advice... but here's what I have to say: This year, it is important to be open-minded; keeping in mind that tribe, race, gender (yes, I said gender), age, and beliefs don't fall in love. People do. (If possible, avoid falling in love. It is destructive. The tingly little feeling you get when you like someone is common sense leaving your body. You don't want to lose common sense and reason, do you?).

 It's the things you fight for and  struggle with before earning that have the greatest worth.  This year, fight for what you believe in. Don't rest until you achieve it. In addition to this, be positive. Confess only positive things. As you confess the positive things, believe them.

Faith is believing, saying and acting as if that which doesn't exists is existing already, or has happened. This is very important. Have unshakeable faith in God, and trust Him for that which you want, or need. Then have faith that it will happen. Act. (Faith without action is dead).

Finally brethren: Pray. Pray and pray more.

My theme for the year: Greatness, this is the year of greatness. Achieving great things, unimaginable things. My God is able.

Happy New Year!
