A Toast! To New Beginnings.

Counting down to the new year can be extremely exciting. Your heart and soul is filled with new hopes, dreams, and inspiration to accomplish many things such as I want to have a relationship with my Lord and Savior, I want to eat healthily, I want to lose weight, I want to have good grades, I want to start a business, I want to boost my credit score, I want healthy relationships, and I want to travel the world. 

When anxiety, passion, over-thinking, and emotions clash sometimes accomplishing your goals may seem as if it is JUST A DREAM and less than A REALITY. Your mind sometimes feels as if your thinking about a million thoughts per hour; your dreams, who you want to become and how you should go about Tackling them!
Having dreams and having new hopes is the start of a beautiful beginning, but what about your strategies for taking your first step to accomplishing your goals? I urge you to plan and strategize ways to carry out your goals! Set goals that are realistic to YOU not by basing it on someone social media glimpse of reality 
Set a time frame to complete the task. (Days, months, year?)
How are you going to determine if you succeed the goal/task?
What does success looks like to you? 
Please do not let others determine your success! Be happy for you and your progress!
Create a vision board.  Write in your journal, diary, notes. Complete a picture collage of things you want to achieve or with your desires.
When you lose sight of your vision you can always look back to your creations to remember why you started your journey. Continue to walk in faith and prayer to help you on your way.
Reflection
Reminiscing about last year and many years before I was like many of you that would set many goals for myself and I would lose faith in the journey. I would complete a few that I had set and work on throughout the years but the reoccurring doubts and struggles I endure during my journey would make me feel as if my goals were not attainable and push  them to the wayside.  
 Encouragement 
I encourage you to NOT ONLY Dream but to take Action! I will remind you all things will not always play out how you have planned, but GODS timing is always the best timing! Allow yourself to enjoy your journey on your way to your success.
Pledge 
This year I pledge to get in the ring and fight for all I want and not let one wrongdoing or failure knock me off my path, and if you reading this I hope you get the courage to do the same!
 If you resonate with this message, Take the Pledge today.
 In 2018 I ________ will be undefeated !
Happy New Year and toast to the new beginnings!
