It's a brand new day!!

It's been a while!!  2011 was a wild and crazy ride for sure.  The thing about the tough years is that they will help you appreciate the good ones to come!! The title of this post is actually the name of a song i've been listening to alot.  "it's a brand new day" by joshua radin, which is such a great song.  One of the lines "for the first time in a long long time i know i'll be ok" is such a powerful statement.  It's easy to lose track of the fact that no matter what happens you're always going to be ok, especially when you're in the moment.  We're never given more then we can handle, or less then what's require to stimulate personal growth.  It's important to remember that there are always people who will have it worse than yourself; and people who will have it better than yourself and no one trial is more or less important than the other.  I know sometimes it's easy to get stuck inside of a rut that we fell into by mistake (another line from a wonderful song), but we wont know happiness unless we aren't satisfied with mediocrity. As my new year, and new journey's kick off I am encouraging myself to remember to push myself outside of my comfort zone, take risks, accept challenges, better myself, live right, live happy, live healthy, let others know they're loved by me because, after all, "i know i'll be ok".  Happy 2012 all!!
