Do what scares you.

and it doesn't even have to mean in a physical context as such,
 it could be a simple thing!

Doing something out of your routine or your familiarity may be scary. It may be so normal for someone else though, its all about the change and doing something different that actually scares us. And i feel that i must always do something i don't usually do. Put myself out there, do something out of my ordinary. I am excited about this year! i still am! Even though i may go through my doubts and moods but i want to live above them. Above my emotions, moods, doubts, thoughts. And may my heart always be beating for whatever is true, noble and lovely.

I want this year to be a year i learn to humble myself. Allow failure to come, allow myself to fall yet to always get back up stronger, and to learn from every experience. Of course i won't go doing stuff that is down right dumb, but to always be make the best choices and decisions even if it involves getting out of my comfort zone and taking calculated risk. 

I want to accept Challenges. To make peace with people, places and things that i am not naturally attracted to, or accept. But to really rise above it all, to learn to know that it is not about where i am, who i am with or what the things are but something much deeper. Its the inner soul learning to thrive and remain trustful. I am not going to go where i do not feel at peace, but i know that wherever God leads He will send His peace before me. And i will willingly accept.

To also always stay real, honest and true to myself. The worst thing anyone can do is to lie to themselves, there is no way anyone can really grow or learn if they choose to live in what they convince themselves to be true but is actually a lie.

This year, i would also like to learn to stop comparing, but be at peace with the choices i make and own up to them. To each its own they say. Why should i look around and compare myself to others, I want to be content with that i have. To be thankful for all i have. To make the most of what is given to me. This is how i want to always live. To also always make the most of every given opportunity in courage and confidence. Confidence not in the fact that 'i am totally awesome' attitude, but that confidence in knowing that life is too short to fuss over the small stuff, to care about what others think, and to never be too proud to do something beneficial. 

To also not seek for perfection. To not expect much from others but to accept, and expect the best of yourself to give. I know that i can only seek perfection in God, in all things else, you can't. You can just accept, love, show mercy, forgive, learn, grow, give. To stand firm in my believes and not waver my values, yet to not impose my thoughts on others.

Oh life. Of learning. Trusting. Daring.
