Journey 139: The FLIGHT

Just as we take another page in the 2011 yearbook, actually, its first page of sort, we need to take on the first step for some but to many take on the flight. Flight to where one should be in the days and months ahead, careers, families, relationships. Choices have to be made in this and one that we can confidently carry for the rest of the year and the rest of our lives. Some take on little steps of critical assessment of where their next focus should be, their next career path, their dream job, dream date, ideal man or woman, kids to bear and many others for their heart’s delight. To many, 2011 will be a flight from where they had been missing in 2010 thus along the way, one has to immediately address issues and resolve them.

The issues one has to fairly address in 2011 are those we missed out in 2010 thus many would opt to take on the challenges of leapfrogging from where they were and to where they wanted to be. Sometimes, the only thing that differs is that along the way, we discard thoughts, ideas, experiences, relationships, careers and others in so abrupt manner that the separation is thus devastating and counterproductive.

For the year that is destined zodiacally to the metal rabbit, one has to calculate each step, each decision which has to be made. One has to take the flight off if one has already been securely fasten with much confidence, vitality, strength, stamina and determination to carry on the tasks that awaits them.

Journey 138: The Joys of the New Year

After the merrymaking, explosive fireworks and the food that we shared past midnight ushering the New Year 2011, now what? It’s cleaning time, I mean seriously cleaning ourselves figuratively and literally. One aspect of the turn of events such as turning of years is the ability of mankind to be as prospective as ever. We relied all too heavily on the tarots, palm readers, zodiacs and prophesy to guide us in the coming year but truly, what has the “strike-to-midnight” means to you, to us? What does it bear on us as mankind?

I say that on the first day of the year 2011, we should get rid of those that we have had in the past – attitudes, bad habits, clichés, and bad moods. We should be able to live forward and not backwards. The only way that holds us from attaining our future potentials in 2011 is our decision to get stuck in the past, then so we must – let go. Let us be able to press forward with calculated steps, wisely-made decisions and better understanding of our roles in each other’s lives, our work and careers, schools and others. It is the joys of the New Year that makes us refreshed, renewed and gained rebirth.

The year that has just passed is something one can get its lessons and improve ourselves in the present.

As for those whom I have offended in the years that has passed, my sincerest apologies. For those whose future I shall share in the year 2011, welcome! Let us press on with vitality, unity, understanding, trust, joys of loving and forgetting those that has been and lay our eyes TOGETHER on the days and months ahead in 2011.
