2015, what a year!

I know it's a bit early to start reflecting on 2015, as there a a few more weeks left but this is the most convenient time for me to write.2015, has been a such a mad year! One word to sum up 2015 would definitely be wow. I personally feel that 2015 was an emotional roller-coaster. There were plenty of ups and downs, but I the ups always topped the downs. God has blessed me in so many ways this year, the list is far too long
2015 has been a year of realisation indeed. I've lost many friends but life goes on I guess. I've met and gotten to know some amazing people who have made more of a positive impact in my life than some people that I've know for years. What a wow! But on a brighter note, those friends who stayed by my side this year definitely deserve a round of applause. Their support for me has been immense this year and I don't think I'd be able to cope this year without them.
Most importantly, in 2015 I realised that the most important thing is to better myself on a spiritual level and improve my relationship with God. As soon as this became my focus everything seemed to get better and better. My main aim in 2015 was to obtain inner peace, and I think I'm going along the right path. In order to continue along this road to inner peace, I need to continue to surround my myself with positive and successful people. I need to surround myself and interact with people who will bring out the best in me, not those drain me of my positive energy.

2015 has taught me a lot. Here are the four major lessons that I learnt.

1. Not to cross rivers for people who wouldn't even jump puddles for me.
2. What other people think of me is none of my business.
3. Anyone trying to bring me down is already below me.
4. Be careful who you vent to. A listening ear can also be a gossiping mouth.

I think the biggest lesson of 2015 is to trust in God always. God didn't bring you this far just to turn His back on you. Don't be silly. God will always have your back no matter what.
This Bible verse perfectly sums up my point.

Philippians 1:6 being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.

In 2016, I would like to hopefully try out new things and meet more new people. I appreciate all the love and support from everyone who's read my blog posts, so in 2016 I would  like to continue developing my blog and build it into something bigger and better.Perhaps in 2016 I'll finally learn how to  ride a bike, who knows. I just hope that 2016 will be a good year for me. A year filled with  love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control (Galatians 5:22).

This picture perfectly sums up my mood for 2016:

But this is definitely my main mood:

My ultimate aim for 2016 is to be happy and continue to win, after all winning is in my DNA and I am too blessed to be a loser. I know where I started and I know where I am going. I'm getting closer to my dream, so I must persevere and have enough faith in myself to not give up.
Most importantly I will continue to work on myself, by myself.

I hope everyone has a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year xx
