Dear poor neglected WordPress blog, what did I learn from 2011? That this 29 year old has become a slave to rest, exercise and a high fibre diet!
I understand that 2012 will be a big year of weddings, honeymoons, births of babies, resumptions of career aspirations, strength, achievements, progression and launches. I’m not talking about just me, I’m talking about us all! I hope you all keep your milestones coming. These are the chapters of life that shape you as a person and build the happiness and life that you want to live. 🙂
I might front up with a gung-ho exterior, but at the end of the day, I’m just as vulnerable and insecure as anyone else. I have my weaknesses and these are what make me the silly geezer that I am. Each year I enjoy learning new lessons and engaging new experiences. I enjoy growing as a person and sharing the journey with my dog, friends and family.
2011 taught me that all I really want in life is for my acquaintances, friends and family to succeed and prosper. 2011 taught me that taking life seriously is nowhere near as much fun as living in the moment! Laughing is the best tonic and I have the band boys, family and friends to thank for the hilarity that breaks up my strenuous professional life. I’m lucky to have such awesome mates! I always have and always will love you guys and I never take friendship, camaraderie and support for granted. Please keep being the inspiring, nurturing, down-to-earth and friendly people that you are. You keep me grounded, level headed and entertained with your conquests, vanquishes, failures and laughs. Thank you soooooo much!
What I understood from 2011 and years previous, is that we are NOT here to simply look good in front of others. We are here for betterment, friendship, support and mutual understanding. In order to be happy, you must surround yourselves with positive influences and people with the same values and beliefs. People who aren’t afraid to show their vulnerable side instead of putting on a front, and at the same time, know how to be positive, supportive and genuine in the face of adversity.
May 2012 be a year of success and remember, keep your eyes on the big picture, don’t sweat the small stuff! Always think positive and see the bright side, no matter the circumstances. 2011 opened my eyes to a world that is shaped by positive thought, I hope 2012 is the same for you and I.
All the best! Andy.
