Happy New Year!
This is not a typical blog post as I seldom write
something too personal and more of me in this open space of mine, so guys
please bear with the lengthy and some sort of more of “me” post. Well, I saw
and read a lot of year-ender entry so mine would be a ‘start the year right’ as
I look back with what 2017 had brought in my life. Hopefully, I might somehow
share some word of wisdom or positive vibes as you start the year and keep
moving.
I always love the idea of new year, not because of
grandest and colorful fireworks display all over the world, not because of the
noisiest and coolest countdown in town, not because of completing the 12
rounded fruits nor foods to be serve at our table but because of new
beginnings, new start, new chances and brand new year to start again and be better.
Though, every day is always a new beginning, new start, new chance but new year
for me is the time to renew myself, recollect memories, reflect on life lessons
that previous year has taught me and of course, a time to be the better version
myself. And as I grow older, I realize that material things are just part of
someone’s happiness but to see them happy brings joy in my heart and when you
feel it, it cannot be compared to anything in this world.
Life Lessons
I learned that
people come and go. You can make as many acquaintances as you want, some
will betray you, some will be close to you and some will either ruin or touch
your life. But one thing is for sure, those who will stand by you on your
happiest moments and always there on your darkest hours are for keeps and no
distance, no matter how many miles away, can break that.
I learned that life
is better after 9-hour work. I’m lucky that I have office mates that became
my friends and friends who treated me like family. You can disagree at each
other when at work but after work is way better, you can learn from their life
experiences and stories that could hone you as a better person and vice versa.
Always be kind and
the universe will be kind to you. Even if the world is so wrong, choose
kindness. Being kind will keep you on track and can sprinkle positive vibes.
With too much negativity and rudeness around you, choose to be kind than to be
right and let the karma do its thing.
Don’t dwell with
the past. It is okay to look back so you have something to lean on to move
forward but don’t stay with it. You are preciously made to be a better person
so always crave to be a person that you will proud of.
Choose to be
grateful and happy. Every day is a blessing, be grateful about it. Be
thankful with your problems as it teaches you a lesson, be thankful with your
pain as it makes you tough, be thankful even if it hurts as you learn to love
more. Be thankful every day, no matter what situation it is, you always have a
big God to help you to figure it out. Choose to be HAPPY, it is an effective
medicine that cure illnesses.
New Beginnings
Keep a promise, be
a man with a word of honor. I know some would say, promises are made to be
broken. I can attest to that. But in the world that almost no one cares about
promises, be the one who keeps it. I do and I’ll never get tired of keeping my
promises. Be a man with a word of honor and live by with that principle.
Be more
passionate. The universe needs it.
Goal-setting and planning.
When I was schooling, I always jotting down my dreams, goals and plans. And
then there was a time that I was crossing them out one by one. It brought joy
and fulfillment. It is good to start over again, write down my goals and start
working on it.
Be enthusiasm. Be
enthusiastic to achieve your goals and make every plans well-executed.
Travel more.
Well, I still have a lot on my bucket list and the experiences it brings to me
are cannot be explained and beyond compare. Traveling makes me feel that I am blessed to see the wonders
of the world.
To empower others.
It is empowering to empower others. I like the idea of giving others an inspiration
and motivates them to move forward. And yes, I want to do more of it and empowers
other people lives, especially women.
