If 2016 was a great year for you, I am truly happy for you! I hope you reached all of your goals and became the person you desire. 

If 2016 wasn’t as great to you, and you are still here, find the silver linings! Try to focus on what DID go well for you in ’16. 

Either way, 2017 is upon us, and we have a chance (and a choice) to do the best to make our lives, our world, and our dreams better. 

Here are a few of my New Year’s Resolutions:

1. Dream bigger. 

2. Work smarter. 

3. Follow through. 

4. Be consistent. 

5. Stay humble. 

6. Love (really) hard. 

7. Learn how to separate constructive feedback and de-constructive rhetoric. 

8. Be a vessel of positive energy and blessings. 

9. Speak my truth. 

10. Yearn to learn. 

What are some of your resolutions?

Keep pushing. 

Sometimes. It. Is. That. Simple.

Keep pushing. 

Sometimes. It. Is. That. Simple. 

  
Doubting yourself? Feeling unmotivated? Not sure if you can do it?

Repeat this to yourself until that changes! 

  
I hope this helps motivate you today! But, for me, this is going to be a lifestyle change. Trying is no longer optional; it’s required. Who’s with me?! 

  
What’s your purpose? Why are you right here, right now? 

So much in life, including college, takes efforts bigger than talent. 

  
If you are willing to dedicate yourself to this list, you too can make it into, through, over, and around the challenges that you WILL face. 

My sincerest apologies for the lack of posts in the last few weeks, but Gen1Grad will be back in full effect March 1, 2016!

I will read this every day this week. Who will join me?
