Back Down Like Smack Down!

Hello 2018 readers! Im sure you've felt neglected these past couple of weeks . QuietlyKept was under going some needed construction (writers block) . So we are 10 days into the new year and you probably feel like you know how your year is going to flow. Guess what? Just because your year starts off a certain way, that does not mean that's how it'll end! Allow your Chapter 2018 to be what you make it! Work hard, be positive and stay focused. I know I personally want 2018 to reflect the growth I experienced in 2017. For most of us "New Years Resolutions" hold no weight. As a society, we've come to the conclusion that though they are motivating for the first few days, they are BULLS#%!. I learned from the wise that you don't need a new year to began for you to become a better person or start achieving goals you set in 2016. Know that life may have it's trials and tribulations, but YOU ARE IN CONTROL!

I was so depressed that 2017 ended at a standstill for me. I failed my Real Estate exam and I was still going through some personal issues. One of the most discouraging feelings is when you feel like you've grown mentally and spiritually, but when faced with the same obstacle that you were supposed to grow from, it has the same exact affect on you. Don't take that has a loss or failure like I did and go into hiding lol . That goes to show that you can be better and there is more room for improvement. Going back to the drawing board can be very upsetting if you look at it from a negative stand point. I had to be reminded that the more paper you give an artist, the more creative they become. So when you feel yourself losing confidence and direction; take a deep breath, regroup & give life another try! Happy New Year's Everyone! Let's make this year better than the last ;)
