Reflections of 2007

its finally December 31st 2007. We're only hours away from a New Year. A brand new start, a new beginning and a fresh new move. I can already smell the success of 2008. I just know that 2008 will be a great year for me, of cos it is always better to be optimistic.

I just spent 6 hours yesterday cleaning up my whole room (which was so messy that even a pig would refuse to stay in it), and my whole cupboard. Went through old photo albums and old letters. I just laughed silly at my old ugly pics and the innocent letters. Those were e days... Anyway its always good to have a clean start as what i always believe, thus e major cleaning. Feng shui people...

I really enjoyed 2007. of cos the first few months was hell when i left school, got my first full time job and had my r/ship end. But the better half of 2007 was seriously fantastic. The discovery process, the self-help journey to recovery, the effort i put into seeing the better side of life, and of cos being with someone whom i will most treasure.

but its time to move forward, leave whatever needs to be left behind. All the bad past should not be brought forward which might have any potential to hinder your achievement and goals for e new year. Its never easy to just let go and never look back, it requires constant effort to remind yourself that the past should not be raked up, and to look forward to the future. To have faith, to not have any fear or doubt.

i thought of something as i lay in bed last night. As i tossed and turned, i suddenly knew what 2008 will be all about. Its a new break for me, cos its the year i start university. The year i leave my comfort zone in Spore, the year i either make or break. The year i meet new people of different cultures and concepts. The year i make it for myself. So 2008 will only mark one word in my mind.

BELIEVE.

Being true to one's self and
Eyeing the prize at the end.
Living one's dream,
Ingesting all the reality that's there
Encountering any obstacles only serves as a
Voice to aim even higher.
Expect only great things, impossible is nothing, if you just believe.

So i know i gotta believe in 2008.
I believe i can do it.
I believe i can make it.
I believe nothing's gonna stop me.
I believe that i can achieve what i set out to achieve.
I believe i wont fail.
I believe i will do my best.
I believe that 2008 will be a great year.
I believe i can do anything i set my mind to.

People don't realize how simple one word can be, that can make huge changes to one life. Believing is everything.
