Now that the New Year is upon us, I can share my Personal Vision and Goals.
This year I've chosen to focus my attention on those who return the same amount of energy I put into them. Those who keep their word, want me in their personal space, make an effort to connect, and do not treat me as an afterthought.
I am just as creative, valuable and as busy as everyone else, yet I still take the time to reach out, cultivate and maintain my relationships on a deeper level than just a text or message here and there. I realized I was chasing my tail trying to pin folks down the last year or two in all areas of my life; folks I admire, respect, love and cherish. I ABSOLUTELY LOATHE BEING TREATED AS AN AFTERTHOUGHT.
In 2020, I'll maintain the same level of effort as before, but will lovingly release those who don't match my level of energy in return. Life moves at warp speed, one minute folks are here, the next, God has called them home. We aren't promised anything but the moment we are currently in.
Outside of my ever growing love and relationship with Jesus, my family is the most important thing to me, followed by my friendships, then my career. I value loyalty in people to a fault. Social media is not a replacement for true interactions with folks; if anything, it isolates us to an even deeper degree.
I love everyone in my life, and I have absolutely ZERO ill will towards anyone. This isn't about one particular event or person, but an overall assessment of my friendships and relationships with so many amazing people around the world. I admit I've definitely been guilty of blowing folks off, too. I think that's what really grabbed my attention. That's why the main focus of my life this year is to cultivate and nurture existing friendships, and to attract more like minded folks into my life.
No matter your level of success in this world, how you treat others is the most important thing you can do. I am working on that; and I hope you will, too.
