“This is a new year. A new beginning. And things will change.” – Taylor Swift
It’s that time again to celebrate new beginnings, new horizons and resolutions. It’s a time to remember the year that proceeded and what is to come before us. I think 2012 will be the year of Revitalise. This will be a year where I will re-establish a new improved basis of my life’s priorities goals and dreams, setting not a revolution as such, but a renewed motivation and perspective to the things in my life. With this said there is one rant I would like to get off my chest!
That being - my frustration towards people’s inability to accept and live as themselves. Now in my tone implied I know we can all grow in this and I am not perfect! I am also not implying to take advantage of this statement and use it to suggest if you make mistakes that, that is who you are. What I am implying is that people seek for acceptance, substitutes and alternatives to avoid confronting who they are. Running around trying to gain acceptance of your peers by suggesting your new craze or knowledge of ones already vocation is merely a ploy to fill your need by trying to look better or top them at their own game, which only lowers there esteem, confidence or most likely their revised opinion of yourself. Obviously you can see that they are good at something or have an opportunity which is exciting or excelling and you want to feel that too… well guess what.. you can! However it will take a little taming of your lion within. If you stepped back for a moment and actually took a look at yourself not material wise or physically but through knowledge, talents and skills you might actually realise your continuous denial was really your answer all along. Stop trying to bring the ones around you down with you when you can actually start to exceed let alone succeed alongside them!
On another note the cake is a lie!
