What's in your rearview?

So here we are only hours from a new year. Are you grateful? I know many folk in their infinite wisdom via facebook, twitter, myspace and youtube (lol) are urging you not to look back. Well I say do it! Look back with the purpose of reflecting on how you have been blessed and what you overcame. It's OK to look back to remember that you are an over comer.

What's in your rear view? Have you suffered loss? Somehow in 2010, did your normally cheery disposition become sour from the bitter taste of reality. What resolutions did you break and which if any did you keep?  What lessons did you learn? If you had to do it all again would you? I know it sounds crazy but I say yes. The struggles and pain and the tears shed have ultimately showed me the magnitude of God's reach in my life and have helped me to build character.

So here are a few things that I have learned this year....

1.) Opportunities are infinite. If there is something you want, you can make it happen!
2.) Positivity is power, speak it! believe it! achieve it!
3.) Life is a gift and not a given
4.) Progress can be a slow process but it is so necessary!
5.) People can be talkers and not doers, Make your success your business, trust God and your spirit :)

In my rear view for 2010 I leave behind; the fear of being unsuccessful because I can do all things through Christ that strengthens me. I leave behind unhealthy relationships and people who are toxic because God loves me and I will love myself enough to leave them alone. I leave behind sickness and infirmity, because he gave me a second chance (I've been tumor free for 6 months) praise God. I leave behind working a job to survive and drive toward a career and long term success!! I encourage you to do the same :)

So, what's in your rear view?
