A new year

Happy New year!!

Pinterest

So this is the first day of a new year, and for many of us it holds a sort of excitement, or expectations.
A new year seems like a fresh start, a clean slate.
And it kind of is...
we make our resolutions and promises to ourselves that this year will be so much better than the last ,we`ll achieve more, do more, be more. Be fulfilled in every possible way.

Don`t get me wrong, there`s absolutely nothing wrong with setting goals , it`s just that ,in my own experience, it makes me feel  desperate and actually a little sad.

Because i really want to succeed, and i want my dreams to come true.

So maybe i need to change my perspective a little.

 Basically set my big dreams into smaller achievable goals,
take smaller steps if you will.. that way my big dream won`t be so overwhelming.

Like say if you want to lose weight, say 20lbs (or 10 kg)  , start with 1lb/1kg at a time.
Eventually you`ll reach that goal. Thinking about the big number can be too overwhelming.

I think to set happy goals for yourself is important too.
I find i always set goals to better myself, goals that demands quite a bit of effort on my part.

Maybe set goals that doesn`t take so much effort.
Like taking time to do something nice for yourself , every day or once a week.
Something that makes you happy.

Or maybe even do something to make someone else happy.

Endless possibilities really.

So Happy New Year, may this year be filled with happiness, may you find peace of mind and may your dreams come true.
But last, may you find joy in the little things, in the moments of each and every day.

Have a beautiful day!

Dare to dream, dare to hope

Pinterest

I believe us humans are  born with a purpose in life other than to just exist.
we all come with our own personal blueprint in a way....that makes me who i am and you who you are.
But in spite of our differences as human beings,we all have something in common.
We all have hopes and dreams for our lives, for our future. (not the same ones of course,lol)

Pinterest

I can only speak for myself, but i know i have dreams,longings and hopes for my life that i really want to come true.
And i must admit, there are dreams i had hoped would`ve happened already.
I`ve been heartbroken over what has not come to be.
I have let fear and anxiety get in my way.
But in spite being heartbroken over unfulfilled dreams, hope keeps me going.

Since i was a child all i ever wanted to do was to sing, i love music.
I have the talent , but i lack the confidence.
I grew up with the mentality " don`t think you`re anything special" ,If you have the talent you shouldn`t act like you know it kinda thinking.
So my ability to pursue my biggest dream has been lacking because of how i was taught to think.

Pinterest

I have done a lot of singing over the years,and loved every moment of it,but it seemed it didn`t lead me anywhere.
And i wanted to go further, my dream is to sing for a living.
To live off my biggest love and passion is my biggest dream in life.
I`ve probably made some wrong decisions along the way, but that can`t mean that i can`t have my dream come true,can it?

I`m choosing to believe that as long i`m living,there is always a chance for my dreams to come true.
But i have realised,that my dreams won`t fall into my lap,they rarely do for anyone.
I have to work for them, put myself in motion.

But that is sometimes easier said than done....
I can feel totally paralyzed,unable to do anything!!
And it makes me feel desperate and frustrated.

I have also let my age be a factor as to what i can and cannot do.
But age has nothing to do with it!
If i want it bad enough,i will find a way to reach my goal.

I wish of course i had reached them at least 10 years ago, but i have a feeling i wouldn't`ve been able to handle it as well as i know i can now.
Maturing is just as an important part of the process.
Some things just can`t be hurried (clearly!)

I have started to write songs again, and are gonna start recording some of my songs soon.
I`m fortunate to have a brother who`s also a musician and has a small studio.
So i`m in the progress, the best is yet to come i believe.

I will dare to dream and dare to hope....
