• What I got from 2010.

  
  Well at first as usual I thought “errrrmm what happened yesterday?” but as I started to remember I realised 2010 has actually been quite eventful [comparatively anyway] so here goes….

  Top of the list has got to be I finally discovered that I actually do want something to happen in my life, and that is a family and children.
  Pretty much everything I’ve looked at so far seems much the same as everything else but the idea of being responsible for the crafting of an entirely new perception is really exciting and led me to realise that I actually want to leave a legacy behind, no I’m not sure there’s anything beyond this life and it rationally seems a bit egotistical to me as a concept but in my heart it’s something I actually feel is right.

  That’s another thing I’ve gotten more connected with what’s true in my heart, or certainly become convinced that that’s the only thing that’ll be honest to me and feel right. So listen to your heart and your soul will speak through it.

  I also kind of grew up a bit (finally) and having been confronted with a lot of change recently I’ve had to overcome some pretty well ingrained comfort zones.
  So remember to stay flexible and fluid or at least open minded, because everything changes and it’s only our inflexibility that will cause any pain.

  I also got taught an important lesson about Honesty. Honesty gives you freedom and the less honest you are the less free you’ll be until you suddenly discover you’re alone trapped within yourself no matter how many people are around you.
  Be yourself. It sounds simple but often we just don’t do it, Relax and be free.

  Another big one this year, Learn how to listen to myself. Really make time to study your thoughts and what influences your behaviour because there are so many things within us and affecting us all the time that without proper examination you might be missing out on what’s right for you.

  For me after looking at myself I now know I like to be with someone, I’m basically a  supporting role lol I really don’t want to be the star, but I’m really lonely on my own I need someone to follow, someone to take care of, someone who I can be comfortable with.

  I’m sorry to say this as I’m sure most if not all of those reading will be users….but I’ve also found out that I REALLY hate instant messengers on iphones, ipads and mobiles. I know they are useful and are technological and fancy and great but when someone is sitting there tapping away to some random person during a film or in the middle of a conversation, or even worse (and this is my brother I’m talking about here) out in the beauty of nature and they are still texting away…..oh man it just drives me up the wall. I’m a curmudgeon and hermit I know, so you’ll have to forgive me but it’s going to be a long time before I’m going to carry a mobile lol

  I’ve begun working towards an actual goal this year and started a few business like things. I’ve learnt (or begun to learn) SEO (Search Engine Optimisation) and setup a forum in partnership with another webguy. I’ve even earned some money online via affiliate marketing…..not much and not really enough to cover out going yet but it’s something and proved it could be done. Now all I have to do is stay dedicated and improve the techniques.

  And what I’ve learnt from all that is that I really enjoy using computers mainly for games but even just for everyday work computers are something that I love and can lose myself in. ‘Find the thing that you love and do that’ is what all the self help success guys say and I suppose it’s true but what’s becoming clear to me more and more is ‘what you love to do’ changes and your life and people around you will as well so do what you love but don’t ‘become’ what you do because we’re always more than that.

  Most important things this year has taught me?
  Well I suppose that would be,

  Your in control of your mind and your experience.

  Responsibility is not being responsible for something but rather a total state of mind.

  Honesty with yourself, others and the universe is vital.   

  And finally, ALWAYS FLOSS! I didn’t and that’s just stupid so go out and get some floss I mean it!

  As always a bit meandering (I have no idea how Lena managed to get hers so neat) but that’s been my year, and it leaves me excited for the year to come and what it might bring.
  I hope everyone’s 2011 is filled with Hope, Gratitude, Love and Wonder!
