a new year, a year for growth and a year for change

I thought I'd change the look to my blog :) I realize I wanna start new and start fresh. I need to change my way of looking at things and my attitude. I need to learn to focus on change in myself to grow and become better.

I find it hard to believe in myself at times and I guess I don't have much faith in myself. It was really 'weird' hearing my dad and sister telling me that I had a lot of potential and seeing just HOW much they believed in me. It makes me wanna do more and achieve the potential that they can see in me! Instead of always being afraid to aim high and being scared of failure, I need to aim high and just do my best. Who knows where things will take me, there are so many opportunities out there and so much support in a variety of issues and activities, I just need to not be afraid to get out of my comfort zone.

I'm also learning that we truly need to live each day as if it were our last. I learn so much talking to my dad, he seriously is so wise! But as a child I remember thinking my dad was a superhero, he was undefeatable and nothing could stand in his way and even now, he still is my superhero :) but growing up I'm learning just how weak we are as humans and how life can be taken away just as easily as it is given...

SO this year, it's a new year and it's a year for growth and change! I need to learn to be more confident and not be afraid but to trust God with my life and plans.
I need to show my appreciation and love more to my family and I need to live each day to its fullest with no regrets! Life is too short for having regrets, we need to live in the present, do what we can as who we are wherever we are! We are who we are for a reason and we are where we are for a reason! :D
