This year had been heartbreaking for you.

Right now, the allure of a fresh start is lost to you.

The promises of starting over are illusory.

Youre weary and you cannot wait for this year to come to an end.

Yet you arent hopeful for 2018 due to many reasons.

Youre afraid that you would be stuck in the same recurring story that youre powerless to change.

Youre pessimistic that you dont deserve the love and happiness youre still searching for.

But it doesnt always have to be this way.

Tell yourself that a new year signifies a chance to begin anew.

Because perfection doesnt exist.

We have to create our own opportunities.

And sometimes, that may mean taking a risk before were ready.

Sometimes, there is no waiting but simply just doing.

That is not to say that the New Year comes without its challenges.

Therell be challenging times and moments that either make or break you.

Therell be tears of frustration and when youre on the verge of calling it quit.

Therell be changes so terrifying that youre frozen in fear and paralysis.

Therell be disappointment and inevitable losses that leave you reeling from your pain.

But let there be more wins than losses.

More connection builds than broken.

More love that you give and receive freely than any animosity.

More healing and redemption than resentment and bitterness.

More clarity and serenity than anxiety and worry.

Let 2018 be the year you start becoming the change you need in your life.

Let 2018 be the year that takes you by surprise.

Give it your best shot, and it wont let you down.

Give it all the love that you muster, and it will reward you back with the same intensity.

Give yourself to it freely, and youll slowly love the person that you eventually become.

Embrace all the surprising twist and turn because you know, 2018 will be nothing short of rewarding.
