A New Year; A New Me

Seeing the year 2013 will take some getting used to. It is usually about mid-March that I stop writing the previous year on things. I am one day into the new year and it is already showing potential of being a great year. I am living once again with an old roommate of mine and I have sub jobs pretty much lined up for this month. And I know that as long as I keep being positive and optimistic about things, this year will be great. I know that it will have its fair share of trials and difficulties but it will also be filled with lots of blessings.

For my New Year resolution, I have decided to continue something that I started in Ukraine. And that is not to live with regrets. I shouldn’t hesitate. I should just go and do. Or unless it is unsafe, then have the courage to say no. I need to follow promptings the moment I get them. I don’t want to live with regret because I chose not to do something. I won’t know the outcome of most things but I shouldn’t let the fear of the unknown scare me. It is okay if things don’t turn out the way I imagined it in my heard. No matter the outcome, I can still learn from it.

This year is a time to improve myself. And I am going to do it! I am tired of missed opportunities. I am tired of waking up the next day regretting. 

Now I know that I won’t be perfect at it but I have 12 months to work on it until 2014. I have lived my whole life in fear of the unknown. And I am going to stop it! I know that as long as I put all my trust in my Heavenly Father, there is nothing to fear. This new lifestyle will take some getting used to but in the end it will prove to be most beneficial.
