Its NOT always about you!

So, another year passes us by and it seems as though its only been a few moments in time that last xmas was at our doorstep and NYE was only moments away! That is truly how life is! As a child we enjoy so much about life in such a different way and our days seem longer, we have so much time to play, eat yummy food, create what we choose and so much time to figure out what we like, enjoy and maybe one day will be! Well, today is that day so look in the mirror at who you are with a smile.

Bring in the New Year with kind and caring thoughts for others, but ensure you always protect yourself and DO NOT let others drain you. Remember that relationships whether with friends, children, partners, parents, whoever??? These relationships must be equal and there must be give and take or it will never work. We have to be allowed to blossom in our own lives; to be able to enjoy what we truly want out of our own lives.

Usually, if your are bitching about someone or not 100% happy with a relationship, it is almost always a reflection of yourself. You are seeing something in someone that you yourself have done in the past, you have been there and you have learned your lesson OR have you? If someone is complaining and its driving you mad, think about at time you have been low and just needed someone to talk to, think about how it made you feel, how it helped and this will make it so much easier to help that person.

I always try to look at life as positively as possible, keep my eyes wide open and stay on this path. For example its the holiday season and lots of people are having to work in retail shops, restaurants, department stores, etc and they may not be too particularly thrilled about this because they feel they are missing out on festivities. I take it as a challenge if I have a stroppy waiter or clerk and by the end of my purchase or stay at the chosen establishment I usually feel better as that chosen person is now smiling. A huge lesson I've learned is to always think about what you say, do, react before opening your mouth to others. You have no idea what that person could be going through on that day, loss of a family, missing their family, just simple lonely, a break up, anything could be possible. We are on this earth connected to eachother and we must take time out to be kind to eachother.

There are those who will choose a life of crime, dishonesty, disloyal and just plain and simple bad bad bad! But we have a choice and nobody is to blame for who we are but ourselves. We can all make a change and we are all able to change the future by only the simple things we do in life!

I know that each of you will have your own personal NYE resolutions for 2010, but make sure that one of them is to take more time out for others. Help someone cross the road, give up your seat on the bus/tube/train! Smile at someone in the supermarket, keep your head held up high and make eye contact with people because you could be the one difference in that person's life that makes a difference on that one day they need it most!!!

I wish so much happiness for everyone, for my family, my friends and all of those people I love soooo much! But I also wish happiness for those I don't know, for those not so well off as I am, for those who need a push of positivity...I send it all out there to wherever in the world you may be with a huge 'Solares' smile!

I can only hope that all of you feel as blessed as I do for what I have and what life offers me each and every day. My new year resolution is to look after myself, my life, my body, my health, my friends, my family, my animals and all that is a part of my life because this life is not a rehearsal but the one I have been given to make a difference!

Happy New Years Eve to all of the lovers in the world!!! Solares xxx
