Yes, new years do normally signify new beginnings, and I certainly hope this year holds that for me. Last year seemed so full of struggle and nasty surprises, and I am really ready to have a sense of progress towards better things. I did get some resolution to some of the problems I was facing, and the political changes of 2008 seem to hold some promise, so I'll let them run their course. But for me, I am taking some ACTION towards the things I have been trying to achieve in the last year.
Part of my new year's re-solution is to find a more positive attitude to take as I move forward. At times over the last months I have felt utterly bereft of good thoughts—there has been a sense of impending doom that just undermines everything I am wanting to be upbeat and happy about. I know in the truest sense of understanding that such attitudes tend to be self-fulfilling, and yet I have indulged them as I gave in to worry, frustration, and fear.
The path towards our dreams is seldom easy, but it doesn't have to be laden with anguish and despair either. If it is, how could it possibly be worth it? If the important part of and journey is the journey itself, not the destination, it's time to appreciate each step along the way.
