2012 again?

Even though the end of the 2012 calender is here, you may have the opportunity to repeat it. You have the chance to have many of the same struggles and triumphs in 2013 that you had in 2012. The same awards in your career, are possible in 2013. The same failed relationships are there to do all over again. You also have the opportunity to write down the same resolutions and keep or not keep them. You get a change at a do-over. What are you going to do with this opportunity? Are you going to live you life the same as you did in 2012? Do you want the same successes and failures or do you want something different? The choice is yours. It won't matter what 2013 has to throw at you...good or bad. It is all up to how you choose to respond to what destiny has in store for you. What do you want your 2013 to look like when it comes to an end? The decisions that you make today not just the resolutions that you will make for 2013 will begin to shape how your 2013 will look. Decide that you want to build on your successes, taking good to great. Decide that you are going to take a different path towards the struggles that you had in 2013. What you have been doing has got you to where you are and if you don't like what it has got you, time for a change. Be willing to try something new, even if you don't think it will work for you. Obviously what you have been doing hasn't been work so well either. The saying goes, "If you want to change some things in your life, you have to change some things in your life." Stop just complaining about how unfair life has been to you. Life is merely responding to how unfair you have been to it. Life is just responding to your thoughts and actions. As long as you keep feeding the negatives in your life, you will keep getting more of the same. No, I'm not an expert on your life, that would be you. But what I do have to offer is my personal experiences and those the things that I have been able to learn from what other people have been through. So my challenges to you are, when 2013 comes to an end, what will it have looked like because of your beliefs and actions? What will be different in 2013? And what are you willing to sacrifice to get what you deserve out of this life instead of what you have been settling for?

Why Yes, It Does Revolve Around Me

The world really does revolve around me...sort of. Not in a literal sense but in a figurative sense. What kind of world do you want to live in? What is it that is missing from your world? We have the ability to control one thing in our world, ourselves. We cannot change nor control what others will do. We can be the kindest person and someone will treat us like dirt. We can be the most giving and someone will steal from us. We can be the most loving and someone will still hate us. I would still challenge you to be the kindest, most giving, and most loving person despite what others do or think. My world is what I choose to make of it based upon how I choose to perceive it. I'm not naive enough to believe that the world is all sugar, spice, and everything nice. I know that this world has it's fair share of less than desirable people and situations. I'm secure with this situation because I can choose who is in my circle of friends and I can see possibilities within in every problem. Over the past couple of years, my life has changed so dramatically. I credit to just a couple of things. One, how I decided to perceive myself and two, how I choose to perceive the world around me. These two simple practices have transformed the love in my life, my finances, my career, and my passion for life. I'm not where I want to be but I am a hell of a lot closer than I was when I decided to make a change. But I figured out that the simple principle of reaping what you sow is a life changing thing when you apply it consistently and persistently, This principle WILL transform your life. Not only reaping into your world but reaping in yourself.  Knowing the changes that you want to see in your life and being honest with yourself is the beginning. Don't fear what you cannot change and don't let it keep you from the life that you deserve. Concentrate on what you can do and go make it happen. Because I changed, my world changed and now revolves around me.
