It has been an interesting break, but I would like to share with you a tradition I do every year. As the year wraps up, I reflect on the main purpose for that year. You see, going into a new year I make a title\/ goal for what that year will hopefully be for me.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\">With that being said, I would love to share some past years that I have titled, and tell you how the end results were.<\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\"><span style=\"color: #ffcc99;\">The Year of Self Love(2017):<\/span> The year before this was especially hard for me, so I knew I wanted to get back that self appreciation that I had when I was much younger. I knew that this would boost my mood, and the end results were a success. I found a love for myself which did not allow me to bring myself down anymore.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\"><span style=\"color: #ffcc99;\">The Year of Forgiveness(2018):<\/span> For the longest time I held a grudge against someone who really made a negative impact on my life in the past. I&#8217;ll be honest, I hated them. I knew that year I had to forgive them so I could move on from the past. I did, in fact, forgive them that year, and we have a good relationship today.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\"><span style=\"color: #ffcc99;\">The Year of Self Discovery(2019):<\/span> I would say this year was where I showed the most growth. By finding out who I truly was on the inside, it allowed me to have a happiness + understanding that I never experienced before. Not to mention, I gained confidence\/ respect for who I was.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\"><span style=\"color: #ffcc99;\">The Year of Growth\/Success(2020):<\/span> Of course, this is what I strive for it to be. Mainly my goal is to put in 100% effort in the things I am passionate about. It is finding my faults, and improving them. Overall, I want to keep building up my skills.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\">With that being said, I shared this with you today to encourage you to set goals for this year. I mean truly realistic goals that you know deep down you need to conquer! By setting these goals you are not only finding purpose for this year, but respecting yourself by bringing attention to something you need to work on\/ accomplish. Many times people have this auto pilot attitude where they just go through the motions. In my opinion, this is not truly living your life to the fullest potential. It is more of a tired survival state that we go in. So set your goal for this year! It doesn&#8217;t have to be the most life-changing goal in the world, but something that you have desired to achieve in your life. Best of luck \ud83d\ude09<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&#8211;<span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\">Maple&lt;3<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hey guys, I&#8217;m back from winter break.
