Job Lost This New Year?
It's a new year…you feel this is your year to be a new you. To do all the things you dream of doing. Well, that’s the way I thought it would go and I still do. You see, my new year started off great until I went back to work. Let’s go back six months. I decided to move to a new state and try something I thought at the time was my dream job…working at a university. I was excited at first, but it went downhill really fast. The job was not what I thought it was supposed to be. The people I work with were not the best people to work with. Lots of backstabbing, gossiping, and doing things that were not even in the job description. I was so disappointed. I left the comfort of my city to move to a place I feel did not like me. It is the job from HELL. But I stayed while looking for others. Twelve interviews and counting. Now let’s go back to the day after New Year day. I am at work and I have my normal meetings I have with my boss. To make a long story short, it did not go well. Now in my younger days, I would be upset, but this time I was very calm about the matter. For me, that shows growth in the area I thought I will never grow in. You see, my goals for this year was not to get a new job (however, that is still on the list), but to improve on my inner character, so when trials happen, I would know how to handle it better. So I want to give you five ways to stay positive while going through trials in life. These tips are helping me through this and I am sure it will help you.

Why I Think New Year's Resolutions Are Ridiculous
It’s that magical time of the year again – the time when people will spontaneously decide to make radical changes to their lifestyle only to realize that they’re too hard to keep up and as a result said plans inevitably collapse by the middle of the first month of the year.

The Waiting Period
In the society we live in, to wait for something is like a four-letter word. Why wait when there are ways to rush orders you made, rush food you can make. Remember the days where we had to wait to get on the internet. Dial-up, lol. That was fun. Now, we have everything we may need at our fingertips. For example, if we want our packages in two days, we can upgrade to Amazon Prime to receive our packages earlier. Waiting for things is now the thing of the past. Now, to be honest I am one of those people who has a hard time waiting. I can wait for certain things, such as the right guy, the right car, the right place to live; you get my point. However, there are just somethings I would like right now. I am not saying wanting things now is a bad thing, just saying the older I get the more I understand the point of waiting. I am learning life or God does not work that way. I found that life or God will only give you want you need quickly and the things you want may take some time.

Lessons to Take into 2018
This is just a short reflection of everything I learned in 2017 that I plan to take along to help me in 2018 and I hope you’ll find something helpful in this too. 2017 wasn’t the best year for a lot of us by the look of social media but maybe with some of these lessons and the new ones we will learn 2018 will be our year.

New Year, Same You
"5...4...3...2...1...Happy New Year!" We've all been there. Fireworks ensure that the New Year enters our lives with a bang, music sparks joviality, and spirits rise as the promise for a "New Year, New You" starts. "Auld Lang Syne" sounds, and strangers dressed in glittering clothes weave their hands together and dance, laughing loudly. Couples kiss, happy to see the New Year in with their significant other at their side. The atmosphere is filled with this new sense of promise, as friends and family celebrate together.

Let It Go
In a clouded mental space due to a collection of overwhelmingly draining processes like overthinking, overworking, excessive self doubt, and continued little prickly stabs of everyday inconveniences; breathing seems nonexistent. Having a easy day is rare and you become this cynical mess of inner destruction.

New Year to Be Who You Really Want to Be
First let me start by saying Happy New Year! It's been one hell of a year for a lot of us and we've made it through. Barely, but we've made it right? We don't want to get into 2018 with a list of regrets from things that we did or didn't do in the past 365 days. We all had our issues with stuff this year. Different debates and changes that we had no control over. Some of us have dealt with death over and over again this year. I know that I don't want to roll into another year with the same struggles of these past moments in life.

Auld Lang Sigh
The conclusion of each year brings about reflection over the events of the introduction and body, as well as speculation over the approaching year. Many of us resolve to lose weight, make more money, or re-invent our personal or professional lives in some other way. Nevertheless, too often, many of us bid the year farewell in the same exact position as we greeted it.

5 Things You Don't Have to Do by 25
There seems to be a lot of pressure put on people in this world to do great things in their lives. Perhaps it is because we have such endless access to information. Perhaps it is because the world desperately needs great people. Or perhaps we all just want to be remembered for something when our lives come to a close.
