In just a few days, the year of 2023 will come to an end and 2024 will begin. This is the time when people start reflecting on the past year, or the past couple of years, trying to set some goals or aspirations for the next year. The ugly term of “resolutions” will be tossed around like confetti in many conversations. But for me, I have a different outlook. I plan on setting ambitions, dreams, and desires. For the past 2 years I have been working on me and in 2024, I have a new day, a new week, a new month, and now a new year to make my dreams come true.
New Year Resolutions
Each year we hear about how people want to lose weight this year. Or maybe try to save money this year. How many of you want to find love or just try to get out and socialize more? These are nice goals. But for me that is too…well actually, it is too shallow. You see for many of us, to lose weight it takes more than just eating better. Because we need to take the time to understand what hurdles we face that makes losing weight a struggle. Is it a health condition that requires us to limit the types of food we eat or limits the exercise we can endure? Or maybe it is more mental and emotional? What about saving money, are we working and getting paid a fair amount for our services? Do we have extra expenses from caring for family members or our own health?
Ambitions
My ambition for this coming year begins with a continued focus on my own well-being. I know I have been neglecting some health issues that I am carrying with me. If I want to aspire to be a strong woman in my own eyes, then I need to face the other areas of my health. We all know that mental health is directly impacted from and by our physical health. If I want to better one, I need to focus on all. So, in 2024, I should concentrate on my physical health more.
Dreams
I have been dreaming of having a career that I am proud of. One that I want to go to work each day. A career that offers me the opportunity to share my talents and skills with others. I strive to help people. I write this blog each week to help someone around the world, know that they are not alone in the struggles they face. Given the chance to make a person’s life a little brighter because I was there to spell check a report or answer the phone call they didn’t want to take, surprisingly makes me happy.
Desires
Writing has always been an outlet for me in my toughest times. It allows me to share perspectives of myself and the world around me with others. In 2024, I have a desire to enhance my writing and use my talent in forms I may not have tried before. I have considered writing a book. Maybe branching out into freelance writing. Whatever the case maybe, this is the time. To use a positive element of my life in ways that bring new adventures into my world.
New Year, New Beginning
We are given a new day, a new week, a new month, and a new year to push ourselves. A new day each morning to leave the past behind and start with a smile. New week to start a new ambition in life. Then a new month to test how strong we are against life’s challenges. And now a new year to find new dreams, new ambitions, and new desires to pursue. Whatever you maybe be facing, we are standing behind you to help you up if you fall. We all stand beside you and share our strength with you. We stand in front of you to make sure you are protected. Use this new part of your life to write a chapter in your life book that is filled with adventure, laughter, smiles, and love.
I want to wish everyone a dream-filled new year!
