2015 has been the absolutely worst year of my life and I am
grateful for that. Everything I’ve been through this year shaped me in the
proper way to fit my purpose in life. Everybody I lost, every bad situation I
couldn’t get out of, every goal I did not accomplish, every mistake I endured…
made me stronger. Made me smarter. Made me realize that I didn’t have control
over my own life and, if I wanted to live it I needed to change how I was
living.
I’m not sure why people are always upset about hearing that
somebody wants to renew their life for the New Year. A lot of ridicule is
thrown towards that person, but for what reasons? Individuals are scared of
change but when it comes to a clean slate they won’t waste a second before
attempting to be different. Being different isn’t always negative. A change in
one’s life could bring them closer to their destiny. But that person has to realize
why they are changing. And to those people who refuse to change, are you so
scared of improving yourself that you’ll belittle anyone else who does? Are you
scared of getting closer to your purpose in life?
I know the answer to that question; people will bring down
anybody else to their low level when that negative person isn’t satisfied with
their own life. If you have a New Years Eve resolution don’t make change for anybody
but yourself. When times get extremely rough and you’re all alone, at that
moment, all you will have is yourself and your faith. Whatever you put your
faith into it’s up to you. However, at that moment when you’re all alone you’re
going to want to give up if you made the change for somebody who isn’t there by
your side. Don’t do that! You won’t give up if you made the change for somebody
who will always be in your life, and that’s yourself. Change because you want
to and not because somebody else wants you to. It’s your own life so live it
for you!
I started to make the change for the better in 2015 without
even realizing it. I will continue to embrace the positive energy around me
coming into the New Year. I realize now that for every person I lost this year
I gained a new. I realize now that for every bad situation I couldn’t get out
of I eventually did and I gained a lot of knowledge of each situation. I
realize now that for every goal I did not accomplish I simply raised the bar
and worked even harder to reach it, gaining stronger endurance in the process.
I realize now that for every mistake I made, big or small, I’ve learned from it
and gained the necessary experience to grow. 2015 made me to be stronger. 2015
made me to be smarter. 2015 made me realize that I wanted to live my life so I
began to take control of it.
You can ask anybody what type of person I was when I turned
22 and I will guarantee that I am not that same person now, about to turn 23. I
didn’t even realize how much I’ve changed this year until I started looking
back at all the choices I’ve made and all the things I’ve did as a result of
those choices. How many of you can say that you are not the same person you
were at the beginning of this year and smile about it? If you can, then you
might as well stop reading and continue on your positive path into the New Year.
If you can’t, then ask yourself this… are you ready to change?
2015 has been the absolutely worst year of my life and I am
going to make the last day of it the best day.
If I have the strength and courage to do so then so can you. I am going
to take everything I learned this year and apply to the next. If you don’t want
to change then at least try to grow. Understand yourself and why you do things.
That’s how I got to where I am now. I took the time this year to get to know
myself. Once you do that then you will slowly notice how your life begins to
change without you even trying. Then you will begin to live a happier life, a more fulfilling life.
Thank you for reading, have a Happy New Year
