Somewhere, someone is having the best day of their life
2146
New Year’s Eve
Ponder this question, who are you and what defines the person you are?
This question is something I ask myself on this eve of the New Year. All has come to pass and there is nothing left in this year except the hours, minutes, and seconds of waiting for the beginning of the next. But there is also something else left in this year that won’t go away when the ball drops in NYC and that is our past. This brings me back to my initial question, “who are you and what defines the person you are?”. The answer is simple it is our past that defines who we are. So 2012 has come and gone and we are all still here contrary to speculation that our world was ending, and 2012 was another year that added to who we are. As wasteful as this year has been seen by some or as life changing and productive its been for others it all boils down to one thing. It is now a part of us, we’ve lived through it and have let it define who we are. The most beautiful thing about it though is that regardless of how bad or good it was it comes to a close, and opens up a new beginning for all of us. I wish I could look back at 2012 like some people do and be satisfied with the person I was/am. But the past is the definition of your present, it is everything you currently are but not what you can be. While you wait for the closing moments of this year….I want you to skip forward a year and think about what kind person you want to be looking back at your 2013. So celebrate your past tonight, and when the clock hits midnight define yourself for the future, become what you want to be and not what you are now.

An empty space’s leaving enough room to fill.
Share share share your thoughts and you’ll get back a fine reward. And it is not the appreciations that i’m talking about, although it is quite a nice side effect. No, i’m talking about the benefit of an empty head that needs to be filled with new and awesome stuff.
At a certain point, i realized that it is absolutely necessary for me, in order to make some proper progress, to share some of my ideas and thoughts with other people. Communication is a pretty good way to grow personally and to keep my ideas flowing and growing.
What’s up with you? How do you keep your head uncluttered? How do you keep your mind busy?
change
1. Realize change is change
2. Don’t go back
3. Be Patient
4. Take a chance
5. Move on
A lot has happened to me this past year. More change has occurred in my life this past year then any other time in my life. I have had more trouble trying to get over things then I thought I would, so I wrote this quick little pick me to repeat to myself over and over again so I realize that its time to move forward with things in my life. I need to forget about my past. It might have been wonderful, beyond wonderful. But sometimes the most wonderful things in life leave you, and you have to manage that in the best way that you can. The hardest part is realizing that there is no one more to blame then yourself. I made many mistakes that took me to were I am today, but maybe those mistakes can lead somewhere better then you thought was possible. Life is all about cause and effect. You make choices, and then you live with them. That my friends is life in the simplest explanation, the most simplified version of the most complicated thing in the world, life.
So today or tonight, or whatever time of day you live in, I ask you to participate. To take these steps and start your life again. Because we are the most precious thing this world has to offer, so why not enjoy and forget rather then be sad and remember.
Sincerely,
Sam
