I read a blog by Sasha Gray at Lipstick, Margaritas and Hairspray, which was titled “My Christmas wish for you.” She wrote it for a friend, who was having a hard time. Her blog inspired me to post something to my own tribe about my wish for you for 2017.
The end of 2016 is here and it’s been a strange year in many ways. I don’t want to focus on politics, international relations or incidents, or even weird weather. I want to focus on you and what I want for you as the new year begins. Cheers to an amazing year in 2017!!!
Make it What You Want
My wish for you this next year is to make it what you want, whether that relates to career or the personal side, or both. I hope you take a moment to think about what you want. Truly want. Not what other people talk about or say you should be moving toward. Imagine it. What does it look like? How does it make you feel? What aspects make you smile? What makes you excited?
Moments You Love
I hope your 2017 is full of moments that you love. I don’t want you to hold on to those moments because moments should pass as new ones happen. But I wish you moments that bring you joy when you do think of them. I wish you moments, filled with what you want them to be.
Success
I wish you success, based on your definition and your goals. Success might be money. It might be getting a promotion. Success might be reclaiming your life. Maybe you want more balance so you can spend more time with the ones you love. You could be starting a business because that is what you want. Or perhaps getting recognized for a project you work on or will be working on. It could be leaving a situation you don’t love and taking time to find what ignites your passion. I wish you success that you think about and smile because you can’t help it.
Uniqueness
And, I hope this next year you discover and embrace your uniqueness. Your story, your path, your moments should be unique. You should look in the mirror and light up when you see your uniqueness. And that uniqueness will help you understand your value and your path to success.
Happiness
And, finally, in 2017, which is full of what you want it to be – unique success and moments you love – I wish for you to find happiness.
As you start imagining all these things, my question to you is what is holding you back? What do you need to move forward to find that happiness and that success? How will you start removing those challenges and barriers to make 2017 your year?
I can’t wait to hear about what your 2017 will look like.
