Falls jemand von euch noch keine Vorsätze für 2012 hat, lege ich euch diese Seite ans Herz. Ich persönlich hatte weniger Zeit als die letzten Jahre, gezielt über 2011 zu reflektieren. Es ist nicht alles richtig gelaufen, ich habe mich nicht immer passend verhalten, aber ohne auch die weniger schönen Erfahrungen wäre ich jetzt nicht wer ich bin.
Als Inspiration für ein großartiges 2012 nehme ich die folgenden Vorsätze:
Stop spending time with the wrong people.
Life is too short to spend time with people who suck the happiness out of you. If someone wants you in their life, they’ll make room for you. You shouldn’t have to fight for a spot. Never, ever insist yourself to someone who continuously overlooks your worth. And remember, it’s not the people that stand by your side when you’re at your best, but the ones who stand beside you when you’re at your worst that are your true friends.Stop trying to hold onto the past.
You can’t start the next chapter of your life if you keep re-reading your last one.Stop thinking you’re not ready.
Nobody ever feels 100% ready when an opportunity arises. Because most great opportunities in life force us to grow beyond our comfort zones, which means we won’t feel totally comfortable at first.Stop holding grudges.
Don’t live your life with hate in your heart. You will end up hurting yourself more than the people you hate. Forgiveness is not saying, “What you did to me is okay.” It is saying, “I’m not going to let what you did to me ruin my happiness forever.” Forgiveness is the answer… let go, find peace, liberate yourself! And remember, forgiveness is not just for other people, it’s for you too. If you must, forgive yourself, move on and try to do better next time.Stop letting others bring you down to their level.
Refuse to lower your standards to accommodate those who refuse to raise theirs.Stop wasting time explaining yourself to others.
Your friends don’t need it and your enemies won’t believe it anyway. Just do what you know in your heart is right.Stop overlooking the beauty of small moments.
Enjoy the little things, because one day you may look back and discover they were the big things. The best portion of your life will be the small, nameless moments you spend smiling with someone who matters to you.Stop following the path of least resistance.
Life is not easy, especially when you plan on achieving something worthwhile. Don’t take the easy way out. Do something extraordinary.Stop acting like everything is fine if it isn’t.
It’s okay to fall apart for a little while. You don’t always have to pretend to be strong, and there is no need to constantly prove that everything is going well. You shouldn’t be concerned with what other people are thinking either – cry if you need to – it’s healthy to shed your tears. The sooner you do, the sooner you will be able to smile again.
