I want to make a difference in this world. I mean, who doesn't. I want to make my mark, I want to be alive even after I'm dead. But how can I do that? I'm just an ordinary girl, living an ordinary life. No, that's not who I am. That's who I was.
As I close the door of my ordinary life in the past, I open a new one that leads me to an extraordinary life in the future. This is where I start to make my mark. My first step on the stepping stones leading to greatness.
Leaving my past mistakes behind, and all the bad things along with it, will probably be one of the best decisions I ever make.
But I am not simply starting a new beginning, no. No one can begin again. I am simply making a newfound ending.
When I flip to the next page of my life, to its new chapter, and begin to rewrite my future, I want to make sure that everyday is the perfect day to be exactly who I want to be. I have the power to shape my own destiny, but with power, comes great responsibility. I'll make sure my destiny, is what I wish it to be, what's best for me, and most of all, what God wills it to be.
This year, I hope to do something so great, it will be one of my greatest memories in the future. Which is a real challenge, seeing that I have so many of them sitting around in the great meadow that is my head. I want to do something that will change my life forever. And hopefully, change other people's lives as well. However, I will restrain myself from going all extravagant and start small.
My wish to do something so great, will definitely result in many obstacles in the future. But why wait for tomorrow when you can do it today, yes? And even if I want all these things to happen, yet do not act upon it, nothing will happen.
So I decide to start now. This blog will be proof, and a remembrance of all my memories—the various individual journeys I take on the road to accomplish my goal. And hopefully, at the end of this year, when I have achieved what I desire, may I be able to look back at those memories and remember them with such content.
You have the power to shape your destiny.
You chose whether or not you make your mark.
You get to chose to close the door of the past,
open the door to the future,
or stay where you are
and live your life as it already is.
Do you want to live an ordinary life?
Or an extraordinary one?
