Not just a Resolution- a Life Decision
This is the last day of 2024 and the first day of seeking change.
For too long, I’ve played it small — shrinking myself to fit into spaces that could never hold my worth. I stepped aside, not because I lacked ability, but because I doubted myself and lived to please others. I let voices whisper that I wasn’t good enough and ignored the strengths God placed within me. Too often, I believed others’ misconceptions instead of standing in the truth that I was created to be a vessel of success.
But today, I’m choosing differently — and I hope you will too.
I invite you to take a vow with me — to know, without question, that you are not just good enough, but great enough. With each moment of 2025, take an oath to stop making yourself small when God is calling you to expand. This is your time to grow into the life of excellence you were created for.
This is the year I stop staying in places where I’m merely tolerated instead of valued. I hope you’ll join me in letting go of the need to beg for anyone to see you as a gift in their life. You don’t have to settle for “just enough” when you’re already giving the very best of yourself.
In 2025, realize this truth: anyone worthy of your presence will love you consistently. We all deserve a love that is patient and kind. The lesson I’m learning is that true love is never forced — it’s freely given.
For too long, I felt guilty for choosing myself and honoring the dreams God placed in my heart. But here’s what I know now — regret is like the ghost of Christmas past, always waiting to remind us of the changes we didn’t make. Not this year.
In 2025, don’t let regret haunt you. Instead, take every opportunity to live — not just survive. And forgive yourself for what you didn’t know before you knew better.
I can’t fix every problem, especially the ones I didn’t create. And now more than ever, I refuse to deplete myself trying to fix people who aren’t willing to heal themselves. My hope is that you’ll release the belief that love or acceptance depends on your ability to fix others.
Fear has held me back for too long. It’s been an anchor, keeping me tied to my comfort zone. I’ve spent years running on the hamster wheel of life — mistaking motion for progress. But not this year.
This year, I’m setting down the weight of silence. I’ve muffled my pain to protect others, learning to hold it in even when I had so much to say. But staying silent about what hurts is just another form of fear. Speaking your truth doesn’t mean you’re being confrontational — it means you’re being free.
Life is too short to stay in the shadows. It’s okay to enjoy the moment, even when things aren’t perfect. Choose, even in the struggle, to find joy, peace, and happiness. Smile more. Laugh every day. Stop complaining if you’re not willing to change what’s wrong.
We are all here for a purpose, and today is the day we stop being held hostage by mistakes, heartbreaks, and pain. Those moments are not our entire story — they’re just snippets and chapters.
This is not a resolution. This is a decision — to look ahead, break free, and step into the life you were created for.
