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:
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!
