A Fresh Start for 2018

2017 went by so fast. Some things may have been left unsaid, goals unmet, and lists unchecked. I for one have a lot of unfinished business.

The thing is, I started making lists and plans, and that was it. The stress of preparing to make something took the best of me... and now all I have are lists. Lists of what I should have done. Plans on how to better myslef. In the end what ifs and maybes are all that come into mind.

A new look and outlook for 2018.

For this year I intend to change my strategy. I have learned that I cannot do everything myself, and not everything has to be perfect and by the book. Moreover, I should be able to take it one day at a time. I must savor the challenges that each day has to bring, and with determination and will... make things happen. Here are the 5 (MATCH) steps that will guide me as I embark on a fruitful year:

1. Manage my strengths. We are inclined to overuse our strengths, but this creates an unbalance environment. For a better outcome, managing it would be more beneficial. As we manage our strength, we strengthen that ability -quality over quantity.

2. Acknowledge my weaknesses. As we cannot do everything ourselves, the ability to ask for assistance is a skill that needs to be learned. Humbling oneself to ask others for help teaches us that we are all connected and we stand as one in hope for a better future.

3. Take one step at a time. Accomplish things day-to-day. A small task accomplished is a battle won before the war.

4. Consistensy is key. Doing small things daily makes a habit. The best thing after making something a habit: the deed just comes naturally.

5. Have the time to reward yourself and your loved ones. Never forget to thank those who inspired, helped, and motivated you along the way. A celebration isn't worth celebrating without sharing that time with those closest to us.

Today marks a new begining, a chance to better ourselves... a fresh start. We welcome 2018 with open arms, new opportunities, and endless possibilities. May we grow in love, live in happiness, and prosper in contentment.

Part 1- Scrub in a Jar: Glutagen Crystal Peel

Ever wonder how products from multilevel marketing companies work? There isn't much information in the product effectiveness circulating in the web. So to give some light on the products of Global Prime Innovation, Inc. let me divide this article into four parts to give a review on our four initial products. As an independent distributor of any company, product effectiveness is the key to success. Sales are dependent on how the market accepts the products provided by companies.

2/30 Connected (January 03)

...and we are all connected to each other, in a circle, in a hoop that never ends Disney's Pocahontas)... Is it a hoop or a loop? Nonetheless, the meaning is the same. That is, the choices that we make, whether selfishly or selflessly, affect everyone around us. We may be insignificant in this big world, but we still matter. People matter. You matter. So this has started out as as visual art challenge, however, after 2 entries I think I'm leaning more on the inspirational side of things. Let's see where this challenge ends up. For a 10-minute artwork, I do hope I'll get better with my doodles and scribbles. xoxo, Update: unfortunately I haven't been able to finish this challenge.
