2012. How do I want to set the tone for the year? And to do it only in one word? I thought about this over and over, and still had trouble with my "one word." I told hubby about the "one word" idea that I heard from Southern Hospitality and The Young Retiree. Hubby then helped me come up with my word: potential.
This is going to be the year.
This is going to be my year.
I am going to be much happier (which I already am), especially since I left my previous job behind in 2011. Some things just are worth it. Sacrificing your mental health and happiness are not worth it. Getting those things back, so worth it.
I now have the time and effort to pursue my dreams. So much so that I made a mini announcement last week in blogland. I am planning on doing something that I have wanted to pursue for quite sometime, and I am doing everything I can to make it happen. I am spending my time networking, researching, building a website (still in the beginning stages), studying techniques, practicing, and finding everything that I can to improve me. That will let me improve and live up to my potential. I am not wasting any time, because there is a lot that I want to accomplish in 2012.
No matter what, I want to live up to my potential. I don't want to feel discouraged, and I know that this will happen, because thus is life and no one is perfect. I don't want other people's thoughts or negativity drive me to feel less than adequate. There are times when I let other people's negative opinions consume me, and if that happens, I need to stop. This will be easier said than done. I need to realize that there are people who are negative, jealous, hate to see others succeed, afraid of pursuing their own dreams, etc out there and love tearing others down, just for the sake of it.

I want to know everything I can. I want to improve. I want to keep on learning. I want to put the best of abilities to use. I want to learn what works and what does not. If I fail, I am still learning. I see it as another opportunity to learn. Another opportunity to learn to live up to my potential.
If it was easy, everyone would do it.
Dreams don't work, unless you do.
