Hello, welcome, good to see you, hallo, aloha, guten tag, salve, selamat petang, bon jorn, buenos días, tashi delek, kia bo, shalom, bonsoir, yadra, bienvenue, willkommen, bienvenido 2012!
2011 was a pretty rough year for a lot of people in my life, it came with health issues, wealth issues and general frustrations. So, I say to it “GOODBYE” in many languages, and I welcome 2012. I firmly believe a lot of good things will come in 2012! Life is certainly not perfect and every year will certainly have it’s ups and downs, that is just life. I think the true lesson and message here is to learn to make the best of both the ups and the downs as they will always come. Mark Sanborn is an author of leadership books and a recent newsletter/email of his really said it well.
Amazingly Accurate Predictions for 2012This is the time of year when many make predictions about the future. I’ve been thinking about what is ahead for all of us and am confident in predicting these things for the coming year:
Amazement.Challenges.
Happiness.
Shock.
Blessings.
Set backs.
Victories.
Disappointment.
Joy.
Suffering.
What I can’t accurately predict is when these things will happen nor the amount of each we will experience.
This is the stuff of life regardless of where we live or what we do. It is all part of the human condition yet we often act surprised when we have these experiences.
When we are enjoying victory it is difficult to remember the times of defeat. When we are suffering, joy seems elusive. Yet we have all experience these things in varying proportion.
Sometimes the tough times seem unduly prolonged and yet we never think that the good times go on too long.
We choose each day what we focus on, emphasize, remember and learn. We choose what we do and how we respond to what happens. These are critically important choices and the freedom we have in a world where forces beyond our control often affect us in dramatic ways.At the end of the year we give others our good wishes. One of the best wishes any of us can extend is that of good choices. Circumstances and others can influence those choices, but ultimately they are up to us.
So at the end of 2011 I wish for you the very best choices for the coming year.
I also think the Buddhist faith tries to show you the way to true happiness and encourages you to embrace suffering and “bad times.” So, in 2012 what I really hope for is that I learn to deal with the negative in a more positive way. I will learn to keep calm, meditate more and control my reactions to things. I’m a blessed and fortunate person! I have a roof over my head, awesome car, loving daughter, supportive parents, the best father for my child I could hope for, career, amazing friends who understand me, great neighbors, and after many many surgeries this year I’m pain free and healthier.
I commit myself to helping myself make 2012 better, as it’s in my control!
May I always remember my values:
- Serenity
- Health
- Stability
- Passion
- Respect
- Unity
- Integrity
Happy New Year Friends, I wish you all a serene 2012!
