It’s 2019!

Did this sneak up on anyone else like it did me?

I have no clue how it happened, but 2019 . . . here we are. And two months in already even! Double EEK!

So tell me, what were your thoughts on 2018?

Was it a good year for you, one that you are happy to leave behind, or just another year- same as the rest? To be honest, I’d have to really think to be able to answer that question. It went so fast, it’s almost a blur, and I’ve yet to figure out if that is a good or bad thing.  I’m not sure that I even had proper closure on 2018, so how could I then properly welcome in 2019?! I feel so unprepared! Vacuuming hasn’t happened, the dishes haven’t been done, and I still need to go grocery shopping in order to have 2019 over as a guest in my life.

And to make matters worse, Valentine’s day just passed, and I didn’t even buy chocolates, or flowers, or ANYTHING for the lovely 2019! Dang.

 

Hmmmm . . . Okay so now what?

Who Knows! And to be real, does it even matter?

What’s the difference between December thirty-first and January first? Technically just a date, a number, the next day.

But what about when it comes to YOUR life?

When we look at the meaning of things in life? For many it can mean A LOT.

That difference of a date. The ushering in of a whole brand new shiny year. Maybe it means a brand new start or do over. Perhaps for some it means a clean slate; forget what happened in the past, it’s a new year. Others might see the start of a new year as sort of an organization of life. You know, each year going into its own folder, with its own tabs and indexing system, and now they can move on to the next year, keeping all of that in its own bin.

This concept is different for everyone, so who’s to say what a date does or doesn’t mean? In the end, the significance of a new year can give anyone meaning if we let it. So tell me . . . It’s a new year, who dis?? Are you going to choose to take the opportunity to BECOME? Become what, you ask? Anything you darn well please, that’s what!

Transform, upgrade, transcend, elevate, revamp, overcome, develop, shift . . . BECOME. 

Make people look at you and say, “Wait! Is that *insert your name here*?! Well DDAAAAAAANNNNNNGGGGGG!”

• Look at yourself in the  mirror and grin uncontrollably because all you see is the fantastic upgraded, transcendental version of yourself.
• Walk around with an extra glow because you know you put in the work to BECOME the best version of yourself in this moment.

 

Now, don’t be scared, as tomorrow might be a whole different glow because you are an even newer version than the day before, and the same goes for the next day, and the next, and the next.

It’s up to you as to what you BECOME, how often you upgrade, shift, or transform, and even how you go about doing it. Everyone has a different process, and none is better than the other.

Not 2.3 yet? That’s okay! Just think about all you are learning and how much you are growing on the path to 2.3. You’ll get there . . . So long as you just keep working.

 

Consistency and faith in yourself is KEY.

 

Don’t worry if you are outgrowing who you’ve been, and then do so over and over again. That’s exactly how it works. Just keep evolving.

BECOME.

When the question “New Year, who dis?” comes up, you simply reply with, “This is ME”.

 

I love you. GO FORTH.
