New Year’s Day is tomorrow.  I keep forgetting that this is a holiday.  But it’s not just that… I didn’t remember until just now that people make new year’s resolutions for this day.

I started to think about what my resolutions might be (if I made them).

But I realized, I’m already doing everything I want to do. 

I wanted to read more, so I read more.  I wanted to write more, so I wrote more.  I wanted to run more, so I signed up for races.

I’ve already made goals. Still make goals, and strive for them on a regular basis. 

My yoga instructor classes start on January 6, and I’m planning to run the Wahine Half Marathon at Honolulu on April 17 that I registered for today. 

Everything is so feasible for me now.  Nothing is out of reach.  Everything is possible.  For so long I was too afraid to try things, but now I am no longer afraid.  I am no longer terrified to accomplish things. 

I’ve stepped out of my comfort zone to try to be a better person and to try to make a better story.

I made the decision to not waste my life anymore.

I decided to do everything that I want to do.

So now, I run.  I practice yoga regularly.  I write, I read; I try to make time for my friends.  I’ve even started teaching a little girl how to play guitar (which will, in turn, encourage me to play more). 

I started lifting weights.  I started doing crunches and buying new music. 

And while, in many ways this year has been difficult for several obvious reasons, I have never, so much in my life, tapped into the amount of potential that I have as much as I’ve done this year.

And that’s fantastic.

Cheers, to many, many years of growing, challenging myself (and others); making new friends, keeping old, and following my dreams (while making them a reality).

What does YOUR STORY look like?
