The first big hurdle is over, Christmas Day !!! We work so hard to have a perfect day, good food, harmony and lots of love and puff it’s over, the day has passed and we wait another year, however we have the big one to look forward to, New Year is just around the corner…… full of new experiences and goals to be achieved,but we still have time to reflect over the next few day’s to note what we had set out to achieve this year and have not managed to reach, if you’ve been trying….don’t despair, we have another chance, everyday we have a chance to change the things we want to change, but there is also something special about a New year, if you gave up this year, don’t make the same mistake this year, that’s easy to achieve, it’s keeping in the pace that’s needs attention, you make this decision, we can blame circumstances and various other things that jump into our path, the path is never clear for a free run, and if we understand this we have a chance of achieving our set goals, the bumps in the road, even Everest can be overcome, it’s take a little longer and needs a little more patience, but so what !, they say better late than never, if we do nothing it certainly will be never, so we have nothing to lose, so keep going, make your New Year list and slowly but surely make your way to the finishing line, make that extra effort, put yourself out there,find your motivation and passion, the secret, to keep that motivation and passion going, this can be achieved if you think of yourself, remember how important you are and you are worth everything you want in your life, when you think of yourself in this way, everyone around you benefits from this, they see a happier you, more accomplished,more content with everything you have,and more love is shared. Thinking of yourself is not a crime, it doe’s not exclude you from everyone, it makes you more accessable to other’s, you enjoy your life more and they enjoy you. So take this opportunity to reflect, set your goals and move full steam ahead,find your balance in life and live everyday on your terms accepting your obligations and responsibilities with joy, there is no room for negative thoughts,turn them into positive one’s, every situation can be seen in a different light, no matter how hard or difficult it may seem at the moment, when you are sure of yourself,calm and positive, your interior little voice will guide you to the right solution and form of seeing your hurdles, and how to guide yourself in a positive form and outcome. Trust yourself , lend yourself to others, but give yourself to yourself.

Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don’t matter, and those who matter don’t mind.

We shall never know all the good that a simple smile can do.

And the great Muhammad Ali said:-

Inside of a ring or out, ain’t nothing wrong with going down. It’s staying down that’s wrong……………………………………………………….

So, reflect on this last statement, by my personal hero Muhammad Ali, never stay down, the only way from there is up one step at a time, no matter what you are facing, the only obstacle we cannot beat is death, so while we are privileged to be alive live your life, all the way, one step at a time.

Are you now ready for 2015.
