Great Expectations #2020

Dear Reader,

As I considered about what my first post would be, I thought about my experience and what I would be interested in reading about at this point. I know you've read and heard so much about new year's resolutions, and the dos and don'ts in making them.  I am not against them but I know how overwhelming it could be.  So the idea of a  'new year's' resolution is within the message ;-) 

At the beginning of each year we all have such great expectations for the coming year, for ourselves and those within our intimate circle.  In having great expectations, we have to remember to have an action plan, something to drive those expectations you have.  Focus on your goals and not on anyone else's. Do not be intimidated by your friend's or your partner's goals, be confident and true to yourself.  If you decide to step outside of your comfort zone, do it gradually, and with a plan because you would be going into uncharted territory where you are concern. I read something very inspirational a couple days ago (a fellow blogger) she was sharing about how we become stagnant and unproductive because of  fear, fear of failure.  If we want to succeed at anything in life we will have a few missteps, there will be failure; that is how we learn and understand that we are on the right track because the failure teaches us what not to do.  Ironic, isn't it? to succeed we must experience some failure.  

Do not let your failures, bring your progress or your journey to an abrupt stop. continue moving forward. Have faith in yourself and the God who has a plan for your life and is nudging you and guiding you on that path.  He has a plan for each of us and it is up to every individual to pursue his own God ordained plan and purpose. 

Let me just pause here so that we can ponder the above, sometimes the pressures we experience are self inflicted; give yourself a break, exhale and take it one day at a time.

I hope you decide to journey with me on this blogging adventure, I would love to hear from you. 

Mauricia- NMP
