Another year has passed, and I’m supposed to say, New Year is the best time to look back and reflect, but instead, it is the best time (for me) to look ahead with confidence.

Last year I had goals set and planned throughout the year what I should work on. And right before I know it, I got lost track after series of uncontrollable situations. Not that I lack motivation and determination, I am just that kind of person who tries to control everything and get frustrated when it doesn’t go my way. (And a lot of things in our lives doesn’t, really.) I later on realized that how I handled things going on in my life are matters of the heart. It is also a matter of attitude and mindset. If I will keep on blaming the circumstance it won’t change anything. What I can only change is my attitude towards the circumstance.

And this year, 2020, I want to look ahead and put aside all the “new year’s resolution” or other certain things I want to change or improve for myself, like my diet plan (no, kidding), and focused on one thing. That is working on my attitude. What I appreciate the most in the season of difficulty or trial is the lesson. And the lesson I learned is making my attitude my greatest asset whatever it is that may come my way – EVERYDAY.

On my previous post I shared a few quotes on the podcasts I’ve been listening to on Spotify, and on of those podcasts impacted my life the most about attitude. It was by John Maxwell’s, The Difference Maker, which is also his book, by the way. He discussed very important keys on developing your attitude. And it helped me see things on a different light and even myself.

Sometimes I missed to point also the blame at myself. When pride sets in it is difficult to admit that you are also wrong about something, or you just did it wrong. But I can’t live forever on pointing fingers, and blaming people, blaming circumstances, because again, what change will it bring? What I can only change is my attitude towards the matter. And to change or to become better is a matter of decision. A wholehearted decision. The process might not only take months, or a year, and surely it will be tested again and again, but what matters is you just keep getting better and better. I’m going to keep better for myself, my health, my career, my peers, my family, and my relationship.

If we also want the world to be a better place, it starts within us.

I also want to say thank you for all of my readers. Thank you all for journeying another year with me. I’ll also be better this time in writing post more often. Thank you for your patience and support.

Love,

SAM ♥
