Pretty Wings

2010 is my year to soar. I'm ready to start living again, I will not complain about things I cannot fix and fix the things that I refuse to complain about. I just want to be happy, please myself and live my life. I made a list of thing that I was unhappy about and I resolve to change them one by one.

1. My job: March 12th is my last day in my current job. I was unfullfilled, stressed and unhappy, I quit my job and decided to take a 3 month hiatus to live life and pursue one of my lifelong dreams. Due to the nature of my undertaking I cannot blog about it but after it's over I will be willing to share. Its something I always wanted to do and when I'm finished it should open the door to a lot of personal development and employment opportunities. It calls for a lot of hard work, and a thick skin to shrug off negative criticism and keep striving. I know I can do it!

2. Healthy Living: I lived a fairly sedentary lifestyle, I would exercise from time to time, get tired and regress. I want to get fit and healthy and decided this year to formulate a plan and stick with it. For the next 3 months I will not eat fast food, stock up on fruits and veggies and drink lots of water everyday. I also started the Couch to 5 K plan as I have no money for gym and running is a free and effective way to get fit. I want to be able to run for half hr 3-4 times per week. Later on this year when I have a bit more disposable income, I will take up tennis as it is something I always wanted to do but didn't have time/money to pursue it.

3. Career Change: This is more of a long term goal for me. I always wanted to go to Law School and this year I decided to get off my laurels and apply before more time slipped away and I ended up with regrets. I have not gotten my acceptance letter yet but I have no doubt about my ability to get this done and I see myself starting the LLB by September 2011 the latest.

4. Relationships: I've had a string of bad relationships and I take full responsibility for my whole part in the nonsense, after all, I could have walked away at any point in the saga, but I chose to contribute and participate. While I see myself in committed relationship and eventually married someday, this year, I have decided to work on who I am, release my baggage and make myself happy. This year is all about me, the only relationship I'm willing to work on in 2010 is the one with myself. This year is all about personal development and I will get to know me and love me for who I am, no pretending and no regrets.

I am optimistic about what this year will bring for me, every day I wake up renewed and excited about what will unfold. I don't have a lot of money but for the first time in a long while I have peace of mind and that is priceless. It' s a rite of passage to find one's self, I believe I had to quit my job for this to happen, it may not be the right decision for another person but I believe in my heart that it is the right decision at the right time for me. I don't have any debt and the few bills I have are covered for the next 3 months. I believe that everything else will take care of themselves and that in itself is a blessing.
