Our New year's resolutions
Our New Year's resolutions
Every year we all make New years resolutions. We vow to go to the gym more, eat right, make more money, do the things we should be doing already but aren't.
Us gym rats know that the gym is packed the first month of the year but by the last week in January not so much. By the second week in February, it's just us die hards that are in there again.
So why do we do that to ourselves? Why do we make these resolutions only to break them and then make ourselves feel bad?
Five years ago I decided I wasn't going to make anymore resolutions. I was going to make life resolutions, to do something to change who I was as a person inside.
2014 was: Let go and let God
This meant I couldn't control everything.
I couldn't figure out all of my problems, so if I wanted to change my life I had to let go of control and give it to God. See God kept giving me messages but I thought I knew better.
All year long God has been knocking, he's been telling you to follow him but you done what you wanted to do and where did it get you?
2015 was: Pray and let God worry
I remember while I was getting divorced, I was stressing so much that I couldn't eat, I couldn't sleep and my hair was falling out. I even thought I was having a heart attack at one point. I couldn't go on believing in God and keep stressing, it didn't make sense, did I believe or not? Do I have faith or not? So I choose to pray and let God worry and that was the best decision I ever made.
2016 was: Be present in my purpose
I know I am here for a purpose. I know God gave me this gift of writing, to be able to touch others with my words. So in 2016, I chose to be present in that purpose and know that this is where I am supposed to be.
My bible verse has always been: Romans 8 .28
"God causes everything to happen for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them" I have been present in this verse and in my life, ever since.
2017 was: Be real to yourself
For me it's listening to that voice inside yourself. It's feeling what makes you happy, trusting what God is telling you, what is real. We often poo poo things in our minds, we know deep down what the message is but we don't want to listen.
I heard the messages and I have acted quickly on them as I now trust God and my intuition. This was a hard one for me and sometimes I reverted into my old ways but since this resolution, I have been quicker to learn my lessons and move on.
2018: Knowing your self worth.
This was also a hard one for me, as I've lost my self worth a long time ago and hadn't gotten it back. I use to let men use me, I'd run after men who aren't worth my time. I've made excuses for bad behavior of people and gave way too many chances to people who've have hurt me.
I have to practice what I preach, the things I write about to my readers. I need to show others how to treat me, with love and respect and if not, then your outta here.
God was good enough to put a man into my life this past year to show me how I needed to be treated. I now know my self worth and it's a wonderful feeling.
This year 2019: Is to realize that I am a soldier.
That God only gives his toughest battles to his strongest soldiers and that's me. Whether I want it or not, this is who he called me to be. This is so I can share my testimonies with others. I must rise up and be who he called me to be.
See, you cannot change, you cannot get all of this, if you still will not let go, if you still do not have faith...it's all on you. Can you get out of your own way to make things happen?
Once we let go of these things, once we let go of control, once we learn faith and we pray and let God worry, things will change. Once we are present in our purpose, once we are real with ourselves, once we own who we are called to be, then everything we ever wanted, everything we ever lost, everything that was stolen from us, will be returned in abundance.
So today my friends, I tell you that this is your year, you are the only one to change the things in your life. If you truly want them to change you have to do the work and believe me sometimes it's not easy.
You don't want to give up control, how can you not worry? How can I believe or have faith when crap is hitting the fan all around me? It is all up to you...I am no different than you...if I can do it, then you can too. Change your life today...
Don't make New years resolutions, make life resolutions...start today...
"Be the change you want to see"
"And just when the caterpillar thought his life over...he turned into a beautiful butterfly"
