I love the idea of being able to have fresh start in the new year. I believe that we are constantly growing and learning. It’s also important to take the time to reflect and change the things that we want differently in our lives. It has taken me a while to learn that but we must change the things in our lives that are simply not working out for us. Otherwise, how are we suppose to grow and change?
While I love that part of being an introvert allows me to be reflective and introspective, it can be paralyzing. I am going to write a different story in 2018 and I plan on sharing it…even if it makes me vulnerable.
My number one promise to myself this year is to do what’s right for me. I’ve have always been the type of person to make my decisions based on whether someone else would approve or not. I am a people pleaser! I want people to be happy so I am willing to do things to make them happy even if I am sacrificing my own happiness. I am not saying that I no longer want to make people happy…I’m simply saying that it’s okay if I can’t make everyone happy.
My second promise is to myself is to define my own success. Someone else’s dreams for themselves is not necessarily mine. Not everyone is meant to be a doctor, nurse, or teacher…everyone has their own path and that’s okay. I am finding my path and trying to stay on course. I am ready for this journey…I’ve spent too much time trying to stay safe and not take any risks. I need a little more risk and adventure in my life.
My goal is to put in work on myself. There are so many goals that I want to achieve and myself is just one of them. I am ready to do the work!
