I‘ve been wondering about 2014.
I know I should be living in the present but honestly, there are lots of reasons I’d like this year to be over and to start a new chapter in my life. Many friends have been experiencing their own challenges in 2013 and I think we’ll all draw a collective sigh of relief at midnight on 31 December.
There have of course been some wonderful moments but geez, sometimes it’s felt like we’ve been pushed to our limits on so many levels.
The question is, if 2013 was so ‘challenging’, what will be different in 2014?
Well, me, I guess. I want to be different. I want to take all the lessons I’ve learned about life, love, business and money and apply them constructively.
I want to let go of all those heavy emotional weights that have been holding me back and tripping me up whenever I’ve tried to move forward.
So I’m making a list of what I want my life to look like in 2014.
It doesn’t include becoming a millionaire (although of course, I wouldn’t say no to that!). But it does include having enough money to pay all my bills on time, buy some pretty shoes and do some travel beyond Australian shores.
It doesn’t include being rescued by a Prince on a white steed who will sweep me off my feet and take me to his castle. But it does include an emotionally mature and sexy male who is capable of commitment, fun and being a true partner…with me. I’m done with Bridget Jones-like tragedies.
It doesn’t include being the CEO of a multinational company. But it does include work that is satisfying, challenging, uses my skills and contributes towards making the world a better place.
It doesn’t include being a world-class athlete. But it does include good emotional and physical health with no injuries.
And finally, it doesn’t include glamorous parties with celebrities. But it does include regular gatherings, long chats, laughs and hugs with good friends and family members.
These are just some of the things I’m setting my intentions for in 2014. I know I’ll have to take action to help make these things come to pass. But I figure setting my intentions is a good way to start the process.
So bring it on 2014! I’m ready.
