One Pimple is One Too Many - Moving Forward

Hey Everyone!

Wow... I can hardly believe that 2009 is coming to a close. Time flies bye so fast!
Not only is it the end of the year, but it's also the end of a decade!

Today I want to talk about you. You, your future and the amazing person you are!

If we don't change, we don't grow. If we don't grow, we aren't really living. - Gail Sheely
Choose everyday to live like it were your last. Today I realized that there will never be another Monday in 2009. Whoa. I started thinking of all the things I'd like to do since Monday would never come again in the year 2009. Then I realized something even greater -- every day should be lived like this. You will never be able to relive the days in your life. You only get one shot... make it count for something!

Isn't it splendid to think of all the things there are to find out about? It just makes me feel glad to be alive - it's such an interesting world. It wouldn't be half so interesting if we know all about everything, would it? There'd be no scope for imagination then would there? - Anne of Green Gables
Every day you can learn something new... about yourself, the world, history and just about anything. Take that knowledge and use it to improve your life and the lives of those around you. You might say, "But Ariel, I'm not as smart as some people or I'm not as pretty or I'm not as thin." To that I say, WHATEVER! You are beautiful and amazing just as you are. You have dreams to bring to the world that no one else does!


Instead of making a New Years Resolution, decide to make a New Years Declaration!

I am smart.
I am talented.
I am good looking. ;)
I am friendly and have great friendships.
I will treat everyone with respect, regardless of their beliefs. 
I am a good son//daughter and will treat my parents with respect.
I will use every day as an opportunity to do good in the world.

Those are just a few examples. What will your 2010 Declaration look like?

2009 is almost over. 2010, here we come!

Wishing you all the best in this new year,

Ariel <3
