Here's to 2017! The good, the best, and the greatest, because I won't settle for anything less!!! 2016 is over! Finally! This year took a lot out of me. First off, when Debbie Reynolds passed at the end of the year my heart stopped. Halloweentown is my all-time favorite movie ever! I'll miss you, Grandma Aggie! Fly high sweet girl.

Alright, now that I've gotten that off my chest, 2016 really was an odd year for me but I'm excited for what 2017 has to offer! So here's are my top 5 tips for the best 2017 POSSIBLE:

Saying Goodbye to 2016

Saying Goodbye to 2016

Dear 2017, Here's To You

Dear 2017, Here's To You

1. Follow Christ

I promise It'll be the best thing you ever did! There's something about having a hope that is an anchor for your soul! He can be the anchor for your soul, if you let Him. Try Him!

2. Be Happy

You determine your own happiness. Don't let anyone control what makes you happy and don't put your happiness onto another human being! Being happy is your responsibility and it's ultimately in your hands.

3. Enjoy Life

It's alright to have the perfect grades, the amazing job, and the nice stuff, but one day it all fades away. Therefore, enjoy your family, friends, etc. Enjoy the things in your life that will make you happy when that "stuff" is gone.

4. BE YOURSELF

God made you just the way you are and He loves you. If no one else loves you then they don't matter. God picked the perfect person for you! Do what you love and forget the rest! Don't change for anyone. If they really cared about you they would love you just the way you are!

5. DANCE IT OUT

You made it through 2016!!! With everything that tried to stop you, kill you, and steal your joy, it didn't!! God laid His hands on your life! So dance! Every time you win a small battle or a big war... DANCE, because you have the power to celebrate!

Now that I have listed out my favorite tips for this new year, remember that 2017 can only be what you make it! That being said, as 2017 begins, make sure to always:

Stay focused

Stay loved

Laugh more

Smile more

Do more of what you love

And last but not least, never stop giving God the praise!

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
