New Year’s resolutions

INTUITION
"Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. Everything else is secondary.” – Steve Jobs

Some very sound advice as we start a new year.

REGRETS
“You should not be judged for the person you were in your twenties but for the person you are trying to be now. You don't have to hold yourself hostage to who you used to be or anything you ever did because, who has lived and hasn't made mistakes? You did then what you knew how to do; when you know better you do better." – Maya Angelou

I’VE LEARNED
“I've learned that no matter what happens, or how bad it seems today, life does go on, and it will be better tomorrow. I've learned that you can tell a lot about a person by the way he/she handles these three things: a rainy day, lost luggage, and tangled Christmas tree lights. I've learned that regardless of your relationship with your parents, you'll miss them when they're gone from your life. I've learned that making a 'living' is not the same thing as making a 'life.' I've learned that life sometimes gives you a second chance. I've learned that you shouldn't go through life with a catcher's mitt on both hands; you need to be able to throw something back. I've learned that whenever I decide something with an open heart, I usually make the right decision. I've learned that even when I have pains, I don't have to be one. I've learned that every day you should reach out and touch someone; people love a warm hug, or just a friendly pat on the back. I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel. I've learned that I still have a lot to learn.” – Maya Angelou 

I’ve learned. Now I just need to remember what I’ve learned.

LIVRE PARA VOAR
Viver para hoje. Retirar a palavra "culpa" do meu vocabulário. Aperceber-me sempre que der comigo a usar a minha história como razão para não agir hoje e, em vez disso, dizer: "Eu agora sou livre para me separar das garras que me cortaram as asas e daquilo que eu costumava ser."
