This year I'm going to start off on the right foot. My resolution is to stop responding. I am going to listen instead. I am going to hear what is being told to me and ask questions to clarify. I am not going to jump to conclusions or be offended. Instead, I will be present. I will not respond unless necessary. I've already been practicing.
I've learned so much about myself and other's this past year. I pride myself in my ability to bounce back and move forward. I am strong and wonderful. I found my backbone this year. It was there the whole time, I realized. I have been tested in so many different ways that I cannot begin to explain the growth that has happened. A lot of that has to do with responding.
I chose to stop responding. I began to take actions more seriously than words. Words are wind. Actions speak volumes. I cannot make habits without starting. So, I just started doing things. I found quickly, that I'm happier and healthier.
I stopped expecting things to be a certain way and let them be what they are instead. Taking people at face value has been proving to be a valuable learning curve for me. I stopped expecting people to be something they are not and I stopped responding when they weren't. Life is a lot easier for me now.
I hope that this year I can continue to grow the relationships I have and support my friends and family as they support me.
