2007: The Year That Was

Like any changes in my wardrobe it seems that there were also changes in my friends in 2007, some classic may have become fads/trends, accessories may become fad/trends and some fads/trends may just become accessories. The thing is change is inevitable whether it may be situations, things or people sometimes you cannot help it, as they say the only thing permanent in this world is change.

So, what does the new year brings for me? This year will be a year of challenge, challenge myself to do better in terms of career or work, I will challenge myself to search my long, lost dream in terms of career and do something about it, challenge myself to be a better wife, a better mother, a better friend. Challenge myself to learn to let go of the things I have no control of, stop stressing, obsessing on things and situations that is clearly out of my hand and surrender it to a higher power, challenge my faith, believe more in the higher power and let Him take care of the things I cannot handle, surrender myself to the fact that I cannot do anything alone.

Challenge myself to love myself more, take care of myself more and count the blessings I have instead of counting what I do not have and comparing myself and my life to others. Challenge to accept the fact that no matter what someone will always be better than you, richer than you and have a better life than you. So let the games begin, this year maybe your and my year of challenges, but bear in mind we will win some, we will lose some but at the end of the day if we have given our best and all else fail don’t be too hard on ourselves, we can challenge ourselves again until we get it right, the most important thing is we tried, as Thomas Alva Edison once said “I haven’t failed, I’ve found 10,000 ways that don’t work.”
