So Long, 2010

The year 2010 is finally taking its place in history and has been different strokes for different folks. It has been a tough year for many, who are glad to see it go. How the year turns out, to a large extent depends on how well we prepared for it. Your slogan for the year means nothing if you do not line up your action accordingly in that direction to make it happen. Success is predictable, based on the actions you are taking today. It is only a matter of time.

How has your year been?

2010 for me was a year of personal development on all fronts, body spirit, and soul. I grew this year more than any other year I can think of. Most of the growth was on the inside, without any physical evidence. For the first time, I felt I was making discernible progress in the direction of becoming the person I want to become. I made significant progress in the area of self-control, starting with controlling my thoughts. Now I choose what to think, and I chose good empowering thoughts. This has made a significant impact on my marriage, my relationship with my kids, my work, and every area of my life. I feel good, and life looks very beautiful. The changes came about because I changed. The people that used to piss me off don’t upset me anymore. I have taken back that power from them. I now smile and laugh a lot.

In 2010, life dealt me a heavy blow below the belt. I lost someone who was my sister, mother, confidant, supporter, you name it. I cried more than I have ever cried over someone. I cried because I miss her so much, but happy for her because she has finished her course and has gone to a much better place, free of pain, sorrow, disappointments, betrayals, etc.

I don’t label years as good or bad. For every year that comes and goes, I am never the same again. The beauty of it all is that whatever happens to us, we benefit from the experience, if we learn the lessons and move on. The death of a loved one teaches us that we will not be here forever. Our true claim to immortality is the good we did while we were here.

It is time to welcome the brand new year 2011. We have not been this way before. If we learned the lessons of 2010 well, we have a much better year.

Thank you so very much for visiting this blog in 2010. God bless you real good.

HAPPY NEW YEAR
