Happy New Year once again. I hope the year is off to a great start for everyone, it's already going so fast. We're extremely grateful for 2015. For life, family and friends, amazing opportunities, good health and peace. To be able to see the new year is a blessing and we hope that this year will be better than last year for all of us and we'll have a reason to smile through out.
This post is about the lessons we learnt in 2015. It was a tough year but we pulled through. I believe it's good to go over everything that happened to you last year and note what you have learnt and how much you have grown as a person. So you avoid making the same mistakes and have a more productive and amazing year.
Lesson 1
Forgiveness is For You - Don't let anyone bring you down so low as to hate them. Holding on to bitterness and anger will only hinder your happiness. The person who benefits the most from forgiveness is the one who does the forgiving. Make peace with your past so it won't disturb your present or future.
Lesson 2
An Attitude of Gratitude is Important - Be grateful for everything you have, the big things, the small things and the things in between. Don't get too caught up with everything happening around you that you forget to be thankful or appreciative & stop complaining. You have to learn to count your blessings and not your problems.
Lesson 3
We Get Treated The Way We Teach Others to Treat Us - Respect and love yourself and others will do the same. If you don't believe in yourself chances are nobody will. You will act on that belief and people will treat you based on that belief. You either teach people to respect you or to not respect you.
Lesson 4
There's A Time For Everything - There is a time for every matter in life, don't rush things and be patient.
Lesson 5
Live your own life - Do not copy everything other people are doing, they are living theirs, so why don't you live yours as well. Don't compare your life to others and don't judge other people because you have no idea what their journey is about. Do your own thing.
Lesson 6
Stop thinking too much - Don't overthink everything. It's okay to not know the answers to something's but don't worry the answers will come to you when you least expect it.
Lesson 7
Stop Complaining - You don't own all the problems in the world and neither do you have the worst problem in the world. Life is difficult for everyone but there are people who have it worse. There are people who are struggling to eat and live. The fact that you have access to the basic necessities of life you should be happy. I know it's not easy to not complain, I literally complain everyday but I've learnt that I shouldn't because someone somewhere will kill to have the things I have.
Lesson 8
Don't wait till you're absolutely perfect to start something you have a major interest in e.g. This blog. If you keep waiting till you're perfect before you start you'll always find a reason not to start, I don't think you can be perfect from the start. It's a gradual process and you learn more as time goes on. Don't be discouraged if things don't start out the way you planned.
