*Just because your best friends move 5 plus hours away, it doesn’t mean they never want to hear from you again. Suck it up and deal with it. 

 

*Things change. Feelings, goals, ambitions.  Adapt accordingly. 

 

*NEVER lose sight of your values…it may take you an eternity to find yourself again.

 

*Music heals everything.

 

*Everyone has a story. Listen.

 

*Grudges will destroy you.

 

*Love like there is no tomorrow. 

 

*God changes lives. 

 

*ALWAYS follow your own advice. (Can you say challenge?)

 

*Positivity can do great things.

 

*Believe in yourself. 

 

Looking back, I think I knew these lessons all along.  Self confidence can take you a long way in life. Maybe that should be my New Year’s Resolution. Instead of focusing on petty things that improve my appearance, maybe I should just “own” being me.  Year after year, it all ends the same. I give up 6 weeks into a new routine.  I am just now realizing that you have to fix the inside before you even attempt the outside. 

 

It’s decided. 2013 will be about me.  Screw looking good. I want to FEEL good and LOVE who I am. The outside stuff will then happen without a doubt. Who knows, maybe I’ll actually be motivated to tackling a couple of miles of running at one time.

 

Have a fantastic New Year.  I’ll see ya on the flip side of 2013.
