Happy New Year in 2012, “Dare to be the Nice Guy in 2012″

Happy New Year in 2012. Don't forget to look up~

What do I want to tell you on New Year’s Day in 2012? Life is a gift. Don’t waste it. Life is precious. Don’t be a whiner. Life is amazing. Don’t be predictable. Life is a gift from above, and yes, life hurts sometimes, too. Sometimes we lose those we love, a pet might die, or we move away from friends and family members that we normally see each day.

 How to cope? Believe in the goodness this world has to offer. Believe in daily miracles that remind us to be present so we don’t miss them when they happen. Believe in your loved ones. Don’t nag them. Don’t be overly critical. Life is tough enough without someone that we love judging us all the time.

 Have faith! Have fun, and find bliss. Force yourself out of your thoughts, so you can recognize the beauty, even in the ordinary things. Don’t be a baby! Don’t feel sorry for yourself. Remember, that just when you think life has hit an all time low, you can still spiral downwards. This may not sound optimistic this last line, but it is indeed true. Why think like that? So you can be aware of how lucky you are each day. Life is wonderful!

Life is gift. I am not going to give you one of those reality checks with out terrible the world we are living in because I don’t believe that one bit. Life is not fair. Yes, it can be cruel. But be brilliant, be bold, dare yourself to march ahead and grab the next bar up on the ladder. Dare to believe in your dreams of impossibility…

There is a house I often see. Each time I drive by, I think, “I’m going to live there one day!” Well, the house is a pretty expensive property. In order for this to happen, some other amazing things might have to happen, too. I may never live there. But what fun is it to dream as a drive by it. Why not think big like Norman Vincent Peale always suggested?

 Like good ol’ Clint Eastwood’s character in “Bridges of Madison County” said to Meryl Streep’s character in the kitchen–

 “The old dreams were good dreams, too. They might not have all come true, but at least I had them.” (This isn’t verbatim.)

 What’s my point. 2012 is our year. Your year. Your thoughts. Your life. Reach out into the unknown and discover the person you’ve always dreamed of becoming. Dare to soar into new heights. Dare to dream impossibilities.

 Be kind and loving. Be nice always. You know that saying “Nice guys finished last?” Well, guess what? That’s right.  Would you like to know why that doesn’t matter, you know about coming in last bit?” Because the nice guy doesn’t care. The nice person has a heart and is here to make your day better, too and are not just out for themselves.

DARE TO BE NICE in 2012. You might just win a few new friends and find nuggets of goodness hanging from the sky because of your own personality change. Dare to be yourself, and dare to believe in every day miracles.
