Be Thankful For 2005. Be Hopeful For 2006

Time flies! It has come to the last day of 2005. So, count our blessings and be thankful for 2005; look forward to more blessings and be hopeful for 2006. Be mindful that life is full of challenges and obstacles, but it can only get better. Therefore, be the best we can be for sky is the limit.

To move ahead in life, we have to forget the past and look forward towards our goals.

Our past might consist of a series of successes or failures. These would become our emotional baggage. We need to drop it. We need to forget about it. We need to move on in life. When we keep thinking about our past successes, we might become too impressed with ourselves that we get pressed down. When we are pressed down, we get stuck and we cannot move forward anymore.

On the other hand, if we keep thinking about our failures, we would be so discouraged that we have no more courage to stand up from where we have fallen. We could be so disappointed with ourselves that we see no point and purpose in our lives. We have no more positive energy and motivation to move on.

The best way to move forward is really to forget about all our achievements and failures in the past. Make today the first day of the rest of our lives.

May 2006 bring more blessings to you and your loved ones.
