Reflections of 2009.

So... It's that time of year again where I reflect upon the accomplishments, mistakes made, and lessons learned from this past year.

Focusing on lessons learned, I can honestly say, that I've bettered myself in all aspects of my life… mentally, physically, emotionally, and spiritually… Although there is always room for improvement, I am happy with who I've become. Not only have I grown stronger as an individual, but I've learned to ignore all negativity, and live life in a more positive manner. I've learned to recognize my own emotions and manage them to produce positive outcomes. This has helped me to see the world with clearer eyes…

I've come to the point where I know exactly what I want, and what I need to do to get it. I am laser-beam clear about my goals in life and persistent about going after them without being pushy and harming others in the process… And I can honestly say, that this mindset, has definitely created the magic to transform my dreams into a reality. I guess when you are 100% clear about what you want in life, amazing things start to happen: success, happiness, good fortune, just to name a few.

I've also come to realize that being happy is a result of making smart choices… I take responsibility for my own happiness and refuse to be pushed around by ANYONE. 2009 has had its fair share of ups and downs… but i've learned to manage my emotions and I refuse to allow any negative feeling take a hold of me.

My experiences throughout 2009 have changed me completely. I’ve come to really discover what I do and don't want in life. This year was definitely a huge learning experience and I couldn’t have asked for a better year, full of adventures, lessons, emotions & people... I am always striving to better myself, and I believe that this is the perfect time of year to do so… I am ready to take on whatever challenges 2010 has coming my way.
