New Year, New Statement
 
Normally for the new year many come up with resolutions that they don't ever stick with.

Are there any of you who take on a "theme" of sorts? You know where you have this STATEMENT that you live by for the entire year?

I remember in 2000 mine was "It's all about ME". You know I got into that entire Millennium thing. :rolleyes:

I don't think I had one per se for this year I guess I continued with the "me" theme this year, too. However, I am thinking about an official "motto" for 2002.

I forgot, I did have a theme this year, huh Ideal ;)? NEW BEGINNINGS. LMAO How could I forget that? LMAO!

What about you? Maybe this is something to think about for those of you who have not done this before.

:D

Good topic
 
Mine is to TAKE ON WHAT I CAN & THE HELL WITH THE REST. I dunno who told me I was super woman with an "S" on my chest, but I often try to pull off the impossible. This year I plan on takin it one day at a time.

I also want to really want to revamp my apartment. My couch has dents in the seats that I just can't take anymore!

Yup, it's going to be

"Looking out for number one"

Something I kind of ignored before, now realize the importance of it. Giving of yourself is good, giving too much is destructive.

My Personal Motto for year 2001 was: Stepping out with faith overcoming the adversary. This was my theme for the year because in the past I've allowed the enemy (Satan) to get the best of me and this year I refused to let that happen. I can proudly say that I've grown in all areas of my life this year and am definitely moving on to bigger and better things in my ministry, in my finances, in my academics, and in my relationships. I praise the Lord for keeping me and bringing me through.

My Spiritual motto for year 2001 was: The Year of Order. I promised myself that I would do all things in deceny and order. I let it be known to myself that when God is in the midst of something (something that is in His plan and his will) it will be completed in order.

As of now I don't have my theme for 2002. :eek:

Ok, skee, b/c I was about to say!! LMAO! I don't know HOW you forgot that one, LOL!

My theme for 2000 was Living Life, Loving Me for Me. It worked, lol.

I didn't have a name for 2001, but it was ALL about PEACE OF MIND and POSITIVITY.

I'm not sure what my theme will be for 2002. Maybe ONE DAY AT A TIME: Living LIFE with LOVE and TRUTH. Yeah, I like that. Thanks, SF. ;)

This is a good topic, Soror!! :D

Good One
 
I might have to use this for my juniors as a writing assignment.

I did not have an official theme this year but towards the end of the summer, I began to take on 2 mantras. One was What God Has For Me, It is for me because I was wondering why good and bad things were happening; why people were coming into my life; why others were leaving, etc. I took on that mantra as my theme this fall. My second mantra was a combo Be Still and Know that HE is GOD and Let God Handle It. Again this had to do with the things I was dealing with and how I would want to solve it on my own but one day I just sat there and did not touch it.

So for 2002 as of right now, I am going to keep with those 2 and possibly add a third which will deal with SELF LOVE and SELF ACCEPTANCE and BEING at PEACE no matter how stuff goes down.

Oh wait, a fourth will be Looking to the Future with Laughter. I love to laugh and I need to do it more.

My motto has been, still is, and always will be, "Don't talk about it, be about it. Otherwise, I could care less what you think!" May seem kinda rough, but I've just been tired of people who can talk the talk, but can't walk the walk. :mad: Two other statements that I like to keep in mind are, "Keep family and God first in your life, because you never know what could happen." and "Take everything one day at a time; whatever you're rushing to accomplish or get is not worth rushing for."

That's my ray of sunshine for now!! http://www.plauder-smilies.de/natur/sunny.gif Until next time, people!!!

My themes, past and present:

I didn't start using themes until 1998, so here goes:

1998: "To Not Do The Same Stupid $#!t I Did In 1997" (like getting married too soon and amassing $38,000 in debt).
1999: "Onward and Upward" --after turning my life over to the Lord.
2000: "Blessings Galore"
2001: "More Blessings to Come"
2002: Tentatively, it will be "A New Vision", because I know some significant changes are going to come my way, and I will need a new vision to prepare for them.

i have not been the type to make resolutions because i don't keep them but i have kept one that i use as a signature and it states "you are the master of your own destiny" i have noticed that over these past few years this has been true. i find that this works for me than stressing myself out over breaking a number of good intentioned resolutions.

for this new year mine will be "just do it" and "make it happen" good topic good topic.

stillwater15 11-27-2001 02:13 AM

my goal this year has been to solidify my relationship w/God. this included reading The Bible (in its entirety), attending church more consistently and just trying to live right. it worked out that i got baptized a few months ago.

as i continue to live, i want to continue to solidify my relationship w/God. from there, everything else will fall into place.
