2016 good or bad?

fullsizerender-27

It was the same as 2015, 1912, 1624, and it will be the same as 2017, 2018, 2019 and on.

A collection of 365 times 24 hours.

Each year is always the same.

The difference is what we make of those 365 days, how we react to events that we do not control and the mindset we choose.

2016 was it worse or better than another year? It’s all a choice and it is all a question of perspective.

Enjoy 2017 and choose the outcome you want.

It’s then up to all of us to make that choice a reality. It won’t be determined by votes cast in an election or how many celebrities will die or what others do or say.

It will be determined by ourselves as that is the only thing we control.

Happy New Year.

Start on what matters right now

If something really matters at a moment in our lives, then we will always find the motivation, the time, the effort and the focus to get it done once we have overcome our fears, which gets easier the more we practice.

The excuses come when something really does not matter, certainly as much as we sometimes profess it to matter or feel pressured to say that it’s important.

We aren’t born with knowing what is the most important thing and rarely is there a single reason for our existence. However, unless we try different things, unless we give something a go, we will never know if it works or not, we will never learn and evolve to our best potential.

Once we start out on pursuing our dreams, we learn sometimes that this was not for us, not the thing that mattered as much as we thought.That’s OK, we are allowed to change our minds.

What is a great shame is if we never set out on things that matter at that moment, do not take that current burning desire, as we will never evolve, we will never get the chance to discover something magical that just might be our thing in life.

Rarely do our priorities, interests, inspirations remain constant for a lifetime, they change, evolve, and get better, however, only if we start on what matters to us right now.

Don’t remain stuck regretting what might have been and don’t miss that opportunity to open pathways to greater things, you have to try to know what’s next.
