A Look to 2016 Life
December 29, 2016

How's your life in 2016? Have you pondered on the things you did this year? Have you achieved something? Are you stronger now than you were in 2015? Are there changes in your life? Are you satisfied with what you have?

2016 is coming to an end. I know you've been through hardship this year. You struggled to accomplish something. You tried to be positive amidst the negativity life has shown. You did your best to overcome the obstacles to achieving your goal. You felt so depressed when you failed to do/get something. You were disappointed because you expected something to turn out well. You got hurt when a loved one betrayed you, cheated on you and broke their promises. You lost someone so dear to you. You cried many times because you got into a fight with a loved one, someone insulted you and you found out how unlucky you were. You even thought that life was so unfair!

There are also times that you rejoiced over the things you achieved and happenings that amused you. You succeed in something you worked so hard for. You got recognized for doing great at work/school. You received good news which changed your life. You were ecstatic with the unexpected presents you received. You enjoyed the time you spent with your family, friends, classmates, and colleagues. You made new friends. You traveled to a foreign country and enjoyed your sojourn. You talked to someone you haven't talked to/seen for a very long time (cause of a fight) and got reconciled.

You chose to fight and go on with life despite the unpleasant things that happened to you. You moved forward and faced each day with a smile. You know you are a brave person. You learned a lesson from your mistake. You strove to do better as well. Don't forget to do the same next year. Keep in mind there's a rainbow after the rain.

I hope you'll have a great and prosperous New Year. Start the year hopeful and positive. If you have a list of things to do and change, be determined to fulfill them. You'll certainly be thrilled with the result and live life with satisfaction.
