Its Xmas again dear
readers, time to celebrate again! But what are you celebrating? The year could
have been great for you, bad for others but since its Xmas you need to cheer up
and reflect up on a few things and celebrate your achievements in 2012 big or
small, thank God for his grace upon your life and just be happy!
Here’s why I will be
celebrating my Xmas differently this year;
Am still breathing!
This had to be the first
point, and if you are reading this then you need to thank God for the gift of
life. It’s not usual, ordinary or normal that you are alive! People die every
day, and these human beings are our brothers, parents, colleagues or people who
mean a lot to somebody out there. Since you have made it to this day you need
to thank your maker! So during these Xmas holidays I want to celebrate that
gift of life; not by drinking myself silly, doing random things that we do over
Christmas festivities but actually doing something reasonable!
I learnt a lot!
2012 has been a great year;
I made mistakes, missed opportunities, had my fair share of success or sheer
luck and all these experiences taught me something. I think every project,
task, initiative or experience I touched, got involved in, read about or
thought about taught me something. I may have made mistakes or decisions that
hurt people close to me, made sacrifices that somehow didn’t amuse others and
all that taught me something. And so during the Christmas holidays I want to
celebrate that; the knowledge I acquired, the lessons and most important the
fact that I promise myself never to repeat the same mistakes. My success also taught
me what can work, when, where and how and that too will help me a lot in
future! So that’s a BIG reason for me to celebrate.
I still have a chance to make things right!
The fact that I am
breathing and having learnt from my experiences during the year helps me in
planning for the future. For the good book of God tells me that God has good
plans for me, plans to make me prosper. So for that reason, I am not supposed
to despair, stay stuck in the past and spend too much time reflecting, but I
think I should spend the present working on the future. Whatever it is I wanted
to achieve but failed, maybe thought of doing but didn’t do it or could be
things I screwed up during the year, I want to believe I still have a chance to
make things right, and when I say that I don’t mean dragging my thoughts and
energy into the past but doing something now to have the future I want. For
that reason too, I will celebrate this Christmas in a big way! You may have
made a few silly mistakes in business, personal life or in your career but you
still have a chance to make things right in the coming year, so spend the
holidays looking at what you did well, what you excelled at and feel good about
it as you celebrate. As you draft your 2013 resolutions don’t forget to work on
what didn’t go well or what’s still pending.
That’s it from my end.
