2019, It's All About Your Perspective.

      My people! My people! Today is the last day, the last Monday, the last 24 hours of 2018. Some people will say that 2018 was A-MAZING and they can't wait to see what 2019 will hold. Others will say that it was devastating and they cannot wait until it is over and beyond ready for a fresh start. I will forever say that it all is what we make it out to be. We all have had bad moments in EVERY single year that we've been alive, but life is all about our perspective. Let's talk a bit about that.
      Perspective is looking at the glass as half full or half empty. What do I mean by that? I'll explain. The half full side is seeing that even though half is gone, I still have half left over and I have something that I can work with. The half empty side is looking at everything that is gone and saying "Dang, I've lost a lot" and lingering on what is gone not realizing that you are negating what you still have. But the way you perceive what is happening is all up to you.
      So yes, you may have had some hiccups in 2018. But you still have breath in your body. You can still see the sun shining and hear the birds chirping. And you have had plenty of experiences to learn and grow from. The only thing we should ever be upset about is being in the same place in our right now that we were in this same time last year. If that is the case, then I get it. But if it's not, then enjoy this last day of 2018 and walk into your 2019 with your head up. If this is you and you are still in the same place, then you can still walk into 2019 with your head up. Just promise yourself that you will not be in this same place come next year this time and begin now to make moves in that direction. 
      Oh, and one last thing. Get your perspective in check. Unpleasant things will forever come our way until the day that we leave this place. But it is up to us to decide whether we will allow it to fold us or we fold it, learn from it and keep moving forward. We still have goals to accomplish. We still have life to live. We still have people to love and so much love to still receive. You heard me? Get your perspective in check and let's bust 2019 in the face. You ready? Well let's GEAUX!!! 💜💜💜
