My MITs (Most Important Tasks) for 2012

Earlier today while doing my daily challenge on www.meyouhealth.com I made a list of my four MITs (Most Important Tasks) for the year. I wanted to share them here as well.

My MITs (Most Important Tasks) for 2012

1. Take better care of my physical self.

2. Take better care of my mental and emotional self.

3. Take better care of my spiritual self.

4. Let go of the past by forgiving myself and others.

I think it is important to set goals to give direction and purpose to what I am doing. I am very glad that today’s challenge was to make this list. Without direction and purpose, we just wander aimlessly and I have done that for far too long now. It’s time to follow the path that I was put here to follow, where ever that may lead me.

Quotes for today:

Goals are dreams with deadlines.  ~Diana Scharf Hunt

Obstacles are those frightful things you see when you take your eyes off your goal.  ~Henry Ford

One half of knowing what you want is knowing what you must give up before you get it.  ~Sidney Howard

If you don't know where you are going, you will probably end up somewhere else.  ~Lawrence J. Peter

It is never too late to be who you might have been.  ~George Eliot

The End and The Beginning

Yesterday I did one of the most important and most painful things I have ever done.

I said goodbye to the man I have loved with all my heart since the day we met almost three years ago. It was the hardest thing I have ever done. I love this man so very much but sometimes love just isn't enough. I have so much love to give but he never really accepted much of what I was trying to give. He always kept me shut out of his heart and his life. I cannot make him open himself up; that's something he has to want to do. He obviously still isn't ready after all this time. I held on to the hope and my incredible love for him perhaps longer than I should have. I will always love him and there will always be an empty spot in my heart where he used to be.

As much as it hurts to say goodbye, it was hurting me more to hold on. It's time to move on without him. I have so much love to give and it is time to start giving it to myself and to those that will willingly accept it.

I have been doing a lot of thinking today and have come to realize that life is supposed to be what I make it and not the other way around. Life does not make me who I am or at least it shouldn't. This is what I have been doing for so many, many years. I have let life and the world around me tell me how to think, feel, act and be and have been miserable and depressed for as long as I can remember because of it.

It's time for change!

My life will not define me; I will define my life.

This is where the old life and the old me ends. This is where the new me and the new life begins.

This is my journey.

This IS  My Awakening to Life!!
