I’ve never really been one much into “new” New Year’s resolutions as I am always setting new goals in life.
This year, as I began to see posts on facebook and conversations with friends, I was reminded to revisit a commitment (not goal) I have had in life the last few years.
The commitment to believe. To believe anything is possible.
I am entering a new phase in life this year with my career and I will have to keep my belief system close to my chest.
Many people I encounter seem to feel like they are a victim in life. They are victims to situations. Whether it be their work, their love life, vampire friends, or simply growing up with parents that limited their thinking in life, they feel that they are stuck and in a rut they cannot get out of.
One thing I am thankful for in life is that my parents, even though we were not financially rich, always made me feel like I could accomplish anything with hard work, perserverence, passion, and morals.
I can’t say there are not things I still have yet to achieve, but the great thing is I know in my heart that anything I set my mind to and dedicate to I can achieve.
In my life, I have never not achieved something I set up my mind to do. It is because I committed long ago to believing.
I hope that if you are lacking in the believing part of life that you can find that. There is such a sense of strength within when you just “know” you can do something no matter how the odds are stacked up against you. Just believe.
Happy New Year.
