An Ode To 2010
73Reflection
Revised December 22nd, 2010
As 2010 winds to a close, introspection is in order.
How do we judge whether a year in our lives has been a success... by our accomplishments, our wealth, our personal development or just pure survival (I'm still alive and kickin', thank goodness)? Personally, at this point in my life, external factors, the car I drive, the clothes I wear, the house I live in, or any other material possession mean very little. The true measure... the real answer lies internally. You have to delve deeply into your soul and ask very simple questions.
Am I a better human being?
Am I a stronger person emotionally?
Is the passion still there?
Does the future hold opportunity?
Am I willing to pursue them with boundless energy and enthusiasm?
I can assure you, the answer to all these questions is a resounding... Yes, Yes, Yes!!!
Here's to an equally successful and inspirational 2011 to all... Ciao!!!
The Beauty Of Being
Every day is a joy. Bounce out of bed, get your bearings, let your head clear, and realize that the world is at your doorstep, waiting to be explored. The possibilities are infinite. Let your mind wander, no negativity allowed, let creativity explode. Your attitude changes, understandable. Remember every day is a gift. Use it wisely! A twenty-four hour playground. Tomorrow is irrelevant and yesterday is a memory, gone forever. Your goal is to make today special. The mundane is not acceptable. Get excited. Put your child-like curiosity to use, be bold, expand your knowledge, utilize your talents. Every day is a blank canvas. No expectations, no preconceptions, no concrete obligations, just live responsibly. It's yours to create a masterpiece. So, energize, explore, there are no limits, be amazing. We all have the ability, dig deep and manifest your genius!
LIVE
LOVE
PLAY
AND ABOVE ALL ELSE... LAUGH!!!
Spring"s Message
Revitalization. The buds are blooming. Reacting to natures call... flowering, growing, strengthening, becoming beautiful.
Spring into life!!! Plant new seeds, nurture them with love, understand their uniqueness, monitor their growth and be amazed. Why can't we continue to evolve? Because we trap ourselves in the everyday, get distracted by the mundane, instead of doing what really matters. Finding our purpose and potential. It's all about discovery and development. Understand that the power of the universe is at your disposal. Use it wisely and meaningfully, and the rewards await. But act, don't expect delivery, be proactive.
SPRING IS ABOUT REBIRTH
AND GROWTH
YOUR POTENTIAL IS
BOUNDLESS
NURTURE IT DAILY...
AND BE IN AWE!!!
2010 A Year of No Compromise
Principles... Be uncompromising. Beliefs... Don't waver. Trust... Have faith. Instinct. Listen to your heart. Knowledge... Learn and grow.
This is what's important to me in 2010.
Goals for the New Year:
1) Become more social . Network. Make new friends. Interact. Participate.
2) Live from confidence not fear or doubt . Develop your spirituality and believe.
3) Create wealth. Find that resource that will allow independence.
4) Find your true self . Who and what I really am all about. Acceptance.
5) Make opportunities . They don't just drop in your lap. Discover. Follow through.
6) Improved Health and fitness . Moderation with wisdom.
7) Realism . Seek the truth and acknowledge the result. Good or Bad.
NO COMPROMISE
HOLD TO PRINCIPLES
HAVE FAITH...
2009: A Year of Enlightenment
This is an excerpt from my personal blog. I hope it gives courage and inspiration for 2010.
Incredible year. Revealing year. Challenging year. A year of discovery. A year of searching. A year of experimenting. Success. Failure. Enjoyment. Introspection. Appraisal. Concerns. Questions. Answers? Some but not all. A year of looking for my true self. Finding some pieces of the puzzle. Not through yet. A year of independence. A year of interdependence. Thank You! A year of responsibility and irresponsibility. More of the former than the later in 2010. Never thought I'd take it this far. Mind blowing but proud of my fortitude.
Incredible year. Revealing year. Challenging year. Fulfilled.
THE FUTURE SHINES BRIGHT...
Happy New Year! All the best in 2010.

Green Lotus, It's fresh start to improve our quality of life. Have a fabulous 2010.
I guess this message is timeless-one can use it always.tips no: 4 & 7 are really great and I always try to follow those.Thank you so much.
Your welcome, andromida. Accept who we are then change for the better. There has to be a starting point. Thanks for your visit & comment. :)
Hi, I quite agree with you. no 4 and 5 for me! I always miss oportunities because I am too scared or busy to have a go at something new. thanks nell
Hi Nell, good to see you. Ideally, fear shouldn't be a decision maker. Those opportunities may not reappear. Thanks for the visit and comment. Ciao!
Great hub. You are so right, we must accept ourselves before we can move forward in life. Hard to do sometimes.
Acceptance of who we are, with our good and bad traits is the first step towards change. Thanks DustinsMom for visting and commenting. :)
Great New Year Resolutions! Self accpetance is one of the hardest things we do...........
Thanks KJ for visiting and commenting. The only way we can change is by understanding who we are to begin with. It's difficult but very soul satisfying. Ciao!
Awe Jai, What a beautiful and clear truth. I know who I am, have spent a few years running and hiding from me as it seemed fitting with society and it's expectations and yet have found my way back embracing who I am peacefully. Life is good. This is great stuff, found it both interesting and detailed. Thanks for delivering
A Year of Enlightenment. Thanks and Peace :)
Thanks Katie. This past year has been a personal exploration into my true self. Haven't totally discovered the real me yet, but that will come with time. Still on the journey. As always, all the best, Ciao!
Hi, I love the inspiration. Very nice, thanks.
Hi Jenn, nice to meet you. Glad you enjoyed it. This Hub is my experiment. When ever I feel inspirational, I stop by and add a capsule. Thanks for your kind words, Ciao!
Jai, lol ... Its almost 2:00, I was heading to bed and reading ur hub is making me jump around with enthusiasm abot the irrelevant tomorrow and yesterday's memory. Your style is inspiring but most of all motivating. =) Luved it, rated it up and will be following you.
Noorin
Thanks noorin, your so kind! I hope I didn't mess up a good nights sleep? Right back at ya, I'm headed over to follow you. Sweet dreams, Ciao!
um Jal, just a few things, the gift of life, is that a certificate and can it be redeemable for cash?
My goals for 2010, are really staying true for me, I promised myself not to make any goals, I just simply cannot play, and here in Canada, hockey is pretty big deal.
Lastly, I am a few days late but Happy New Year, your hub is inspiring, motivating and truly smart. I could care less what time of year it is, these goals are ones that I for sure relate to, and will hang near me as a reminder and motivational message much needed.
cheers retweeter
kimberly, this hub is kind of my journal for 2010. It started as a New Years resolution Hub, with goals and aspirations. Then, I decided to chronicle my progression through the year (i.e. Spring's Message, Beauty of Being). I think I need a fall addition. What do you think? Good to see ya! Thanks kim, Ciao!
WOW 2010 is still proving to be an amazing year for all of us and there is still much to enjoy, experience, taste and feel I imagine the very best and most prosperous rest of 2010 leading into an even better 2011. Jai May you be radically and abundantly prosperous in all areas of life. I love your goals for 2010 just a wee reminder that there is still amazing bends, twist and turns ahead...
1) Become more social. Network. Make new friends. Interact. Participate.
2) Live from confidence not fear or doubt. Develop your spirituality and believe.
3) Create wealth. Find that resource that will allow independence.
4) Find your true self. Who and what I really am all about. Acceptance.
5) Make opportunities. They don't just drop in your lap. Discover. Follow through.
6) Improved Health and fitness. Moderation with wisdom.
7) Realism. Seek the truth and acknowledge the result. Good or Bad.
I like it, absorb it and believe it! :)
So far everything's holding true Katie. I probably will do a Fall update. This is my experimental Hub... kind of a 2010 journal. Glad you've enjoyed it twice! Thanks my dear, Peace... Ciao!
