What a year...!!!

What a year it has been..!! 2007 was full of happenings...exciting and mundane...highs and lows. I have travelled up the high mountain of success and confidence and to the low valleys of sorrows and despair. It was really a time of soul searching and discovery.

NOW!!! 2008...is and will be unlike 2007. Every new year, all of us make new resolutions and most of us do not hold fast to it. Hehehe..me included....UNTIL NOW!!

I realised that, resolutions should never be made at the beginning of a new year nor should it be made at the end of the old year. ( So passe)..It should and must be made...when we..as the fickle creatures with minds that we are....feel and believe strongly about the change we want and desire in our lives. That means having passion for something we believe in. It could be anything. A new habit..breaking an old habit. Being more patient...being more friendly. Quit smoking... Start exercising.

It may not all be good in other's eyes..but its our lives. We should, as much as possible dictate how we want to live and how happy we want to be, living it. Barring emotional or physical pains to others, of course.

I have found my passions and lived it to achieve my dreams and ambitions in the past. Now I will embark on another quest to fulfill my passion and desires. It took me 2 years to formulate and plan. 2 years to prepare. And 2 years to decide if it was really something i wanted.

2 years on...i am now without a job. I am no longer practising what i love so much. No longer doing what i left the airlines for. No longer doing what i worked so hard to achieve. And it was worth every ounce of mental and physical energy to get where I am now. Now comes the hard work and belief that i can achieve what i set out to do.

It has been a long year indeed, and the new year does not promise me anything. What the new year does is give me the same 12 months that everyone else gets with the same holidays and "timely" bills to be paid. such is the economics of life. What is different though..is ME. Like the catch-phrase..."You can't build S_CCESS without U". And thats what i am going to be.

Successful....wealthy...stress free...and happy. And all this boils down to one thing... Passion.

However, everyone has a different understanding and definition of success.

That will be explained in another time and place.

For now..i am glad to be back blogging..even though my last blog was only 3 sessions.

Till wee meet again....very soon.
