Today is the first day of the new year, ironically it falls on a rare numeral phenomena of 1-1-11, and what's instore?

1 is a significant number, for it's a number to begin with. We always strive to be our best, a winner, on top, number 1.

That is the best place to be, when you know how to be there. What am I trying to say?
We struggle throughout our lives in order to have a life, a life of our own design, our own creation, our own vision. More often we never have that life, and there are but few who got them. Why?

There may be a lot of reasons, one would probably, we get lost along the way. The world is equipped with forces and energy that hinders our growth as human beings. We are easily distracted by the things that replaces our ideas and enthusiasm with other wordly temptations, and then we forget about our dreams or simply give up.

We are thought when we are young to be always number 1, so we play harder, study well, be confident and smart. But as we grow up, reality bites and we find ourselves looking for ourselves in the vast ocean of human decay.

But there's always hope, and to dream to be on the number 1 spot, of our own standards, is never gone, there is hope when we believe once more, to search within ourselves for inspiration and have the strength to find the path long lost and follow it once again.

No matter how much we fail, it does not matter, no matter how long it takes, does not matter the same even if it is harder the next time. It's how we proceed, to go on unceasingly until we find ourselves at last, under that spotlight of being number 1.

New Year In Focus

We are about to say goodbye to 2010 and say hello to 2011 and what do we hope for this time? I am pretty sure if we make a list of things to do this coming year, we will end up with a list as same as the one we made at the beginning of this ending year.
Which means, we have not really done what we intended to do this year. Which means, probably we did not do our best, or we did not even bother to follow them. It may mean also that for some reason plans were diverted into other things. Or simply, we wrote them just for the sake of having a list or a resolution.
We plan ahead, but as days pass by, we simply lose track of our goals, intentions and hopes. Life has its way of screwing things up, and letting us fail.
But what will drive us this time? I can only think of some ways like minding our choices.
If we will keep our focus on the things that we wanted to happen in our lives, we just have to keep walking on the path towards it. Yes, there will be times when we lack the drive, the energy or the inspiration, but we should not let our goals slip through our hands. It is ours for the taking, and we can reach it, if we really want it.
I am guilty of this, and yes, it is a cliche to say I told myself this time I'll stick to it, but who knows, maybe I will. There is nothing wrong to keep on trying, even the greatest men failed more than they succeed, but ain't it the sweetest thing when you strive for something and eventually get it?
So this coming year, I had a few, yeah, this time I keep it to a minimum, in my list. We'll see, we will see.
