Never let the fear of striking out keep you from playing the game
2011 is winding down and if there’s anything I’ve learned it is this: Don’t sweat the small stuff. And by small, I mean the following: asking questions that will probably be left unanswered, moments that didn’t go as planned, things that don’t make sense no matter how many times you play it in your head, and to be blunt-stupidly mediocre people. I was born and raised a fighter but if this past year has taught me anything, it’s deciding what is worth the fight. I’ve spent too much time on small stuff only to look back and well…find it hilarious. Because all those things that once worked me up and got under my skin, they all just kind of seem ludicrous now. And in ode to all that, I put a close to it by laughing it off.
My 2012 resolution theme: Invest in things that have meaning.
The best things that happened to me in 2011 were things that I can look back fondly on 10 years from now. I made a huge leap in my career and I shared some amazingly memorable moments with the people I love and care about.
So in 2012, this is what I WILL have and do more of:
- Unforgettable, should be regrettable (but not) nights that epically are talked about the next day [drunk or sober].
- Quality time with my family and core group of friends.
- But also keeping room for more wonderful new friends.
- In general, surround myself with people that cause laughs and smiles.
- Take advantage of doing things I haven’t done before and learning new things.
- Treat myself to things that are good for me and make me feel good.
- Continue to make more advancements in my music career.
- Be more open with the person I actually am [cause really there’s no reason for me to be ashamed of anything and I don’t care to always please people.]
- Rest and relaxation-I’m overdue for a vacation!
- Acceptance of my responsibilities as woman and adult. [eventually I have to have a grown up mind set about certain things…not everything though ;)]
- Go for everything I really want..cause at the end of the day, what do I really have to lose? So long as I have my dignity, pride, and ambition, the world is mine!
- Make wise decisions.
sweat Laugh at the small stuff.
