New Year, New Me?
Today is the 1st January 2017. Happy New Year!! The first day of the
year for me is always filled with hopes, dreams and goals. I'm like a hiker at
the bottom of Mount Everest looking up in awe and wonder, amazed at the
adventure that awaits. But not this year... no not this year. This year, I've
set no new goals, woke with no new dreams and my heart holds no new hopes.
Mainly because I stood at the bottom of Mount Everest, this time last
year...and I'm still there now. Granted I have made progress, pitched my tent a
few miles into the ascent, but I would have loved for 2017 to hold a new
adventure. Not the same one from last year. But the truth is, last year I was
scared. The climb of 2016 required more of me, than I thought I could offer so
I settled in my tent, where the terrain was flat and the weather manageable.
But I have missed out on the great adventure of Everest. I had all my plans and
equipment ready...but I wasn't.
So this year isn't new year, new me because so many of us say that, sign
up at the gym in January and come July are cursing at the amount of money we've
put into the exercise industry and have not reaped the benefits. This is a new
year, but I'm going to discover me. I don't change overnight- but I begin this
wonderful journey and discover all I have to offer.
This year is about me not being afraid and
not being complacent - perfecting any skills I do have and not just sitting on
them but developing them. This year is about me finding the courage to start
and finish the journey I intended to make. This is not a year for us to make
excuses and procrastinate, but this year will be a year of expectancy and
adventure! But in order for that to happen... I have to begin to climb. Where are you climbing and have you started? If so, I'll see you at the summit :)
