Take this New Year to reflect on what needs to be left in your past and how to move forward. Your life journey is always changing and those involved with it are either in it or need to be left behind. We tend to forget that each day brings a chance to start fresh but it also gives us the chance to move on. Moving on has to be the hardest thing for a lot of us. We tend to hold on to the past and bring it into our current future. I speak on this a lot because carrying that dead weight around tends to hinder your growth. Growth is needed to move forward and to just live life.

I found myself trying to please those around me and make sure that everyone else was good before I was. I like helping those around me but over the past year I’ve moved past that. I’ve learned that for my own personal sanity to just keep it moving and don’t bend over backwards for anyone anymore. We all have our own troubles and demons we have to deal with but when trying to be supportive to someone they tend to either end up using you or acting like you weren’t part of their life journey to get better. Don’t forget to acknowledge those amazing people that that are willing to help you. If you are one of those supportive people and it becomes too much of a hindrance take a step back like me and reevaluate why you are doing it. Sometimes people don’t deserve what you have to offer.

Going into the New Year I want to make sure I’ve reflected on my past, continue looking towards a positive future, reconnect with relevant people, distance myself from parasites and continue growing into the man that I know I am already becoming. Trying to continue centering myself and living the best life possible. What are you trying to do on your 2018 life journey?
