Random Thoughts: A personal blog about life…

Random Thoughts 10: A Blank Page

Valerie Jardin January 1, 2018

I love new beginnings! Whether it's a new day, a new week, or a new year, it's always a good time to start a new chapter. I don't care much for 'new year's resolutions' in general. But they keep the fitness industry happy for a few weeks every January, so that's a good thing ;)

Whatever the 'new' is for you, why not make a small step towards your dream this year? It doesn't have to be a giant leap. Maybe one simple step in the direction you want to change one thing in your life will be enough to propel you in a new direction. I made many really big changes in my life in recent years. I decided to live my dream and I made it happen. Luck had nothing to do with it, hard work and determination did!

Living your dream is the most difficult task you will ever take on. Let's face it, if it was easy, everyone would do it. It may not be big, but no matter what it is, you owe it to yourself to give it a go. There is no 'back to square one' when your game is over. 

Cheers to a beautiful New Year! May you surround yourself with people who love, support and empower you in your wildest dreams.
