Advice for the Year Ahead
I was looking for some inspiration for my second set of blogs in this New Year. In a which is charged with so much fighting and negativity, I thought it might be nice to find something positive to share with you. Today I am choosing words which are not necessarily just about sound financial adivce, rather they cover so many areas of our lives. I often am inspired by the words of Dave Ramsey, and this post from him seems to have just the right tone:
“With a new year comes new opportunities. Second chances. Do-overs. You get to leave the past behind and start with a clean slate! You can make this year better than the last.
As this new year begins, try out these proven principles that will set you up for success.

1. Let mistakes stay where they belong.
There’s a reason the rearview mirror is smaller than the windshield. Looking at what’s ahead is more important than looking at what’s behind you. Yes, you need to take responsibility for your past, but that doesn’t mean you have to stay there. You can’t be excited about the future if you’re living in the land of regret!
2. Let experience teach you.
Whether it’s those mistakes you’ve made or the unexpected trials that knocked you off your feet, learning from them can be fuel for future success. When asked about his many failed inventions, Thomas Edison once said, “I have not failed 10,000 times—I’ve successfully found 10,000 ways that will not work.” Failure deepens your compassion, forgiveness and empathy. It can give you more self-awareness, improve your skills, and motivate you to work harder.

3. Let gratitude decide your outlook.
When you choose gratitude, you enjoy better relationships, feel better physically and emotionally, improve your self-esteem, and even sleep better at night. There are no downsides to seeing through the lens of gratefulness, but the benefits can radically improve your life!
