Imagine if there was no such thing as "years". So no 2013, 2012, 2011..etc. Basically, everyone would say, "well two January ago.."
It got me thinking, what is the meaning behind New Years and why it is so highly celebrated around the world. People get crazy hyped for the exact moment of the NEW YEAR.
In a nut shell, each year has its ups and downs.
Throughout the past year you may have had...
Happiness and Sorrow.
Love and Pain
The times of your life and your worst of days
A new friend or the loss of one
For example, as I reflect on 2012 I would say it has been a roller coaster of ups and downs.
For anyone that may not know my father passed away in 2012 at the age of 56.
I have had the privilege to work with hundreds of young adults at my job in college and have had a positive effect on their lives.
Even in 2012 I met a young lady that is currently my girlfriend of 10 months!
A NEW YEAR is not about forgetting about the past BUT remembering it and having the strength to MOVE FORWARD.
It is a new year, and for some people a new beginning!
The fact of the matter, focusing on this new year and not the past or future is the most important.
The NEW YEARS is a time to MOVE FORWARD and not take for granted the people and things in your life that you cherish SO MUCH.
Let the NEW YRS be a time of happiness, and a time to know that through the good and bad days that you're going to be OKAY!
I know this year "ONE" of my new yr resolutions is to take the word, "I CAN'T" completely out of my vocabulary.
While you continue on with your new year, never forget the people in your past that have touched you in your life. No matter how far they are away from you or if their in Heaven remember that one way or another they are looking over you.
You want to know why your able to move forward?
You want to know why you can be happy?
You want to know why you have the chance to keep fighting for what you believe in?
You want to know why anything you want to do is possible?
BECAUSE YOU CAN!
