A New Beginning

88 Comments
2015 has been a crazy roller coaster ride for me. There were a lot of good and bad things that happened- successes and failures, but I can say that this year has been a fruitful one. I'm thankful to all the experiences that I had that shaped me into a more mature woman that I am now and of course to all the people who stayed with me in good and bad times. For today's post I want to share with you some of my goals for the year 2016. 
  • This 2016 I promise to explore and try new things and say "YES" to things that I am afraid of. This is probably the most challenging of all the goals that I want to achieve this 2016 but with this, I'll be able to know how far can I go and how mature can I be. There are already two possible upcoming challenges that I'll take part and hopefully I will not freak out when it actually happens.
  • This 2016 I promise to study harder and focus on my school goals. Although it feels impossible to achieve what I had achieved during my first two years in college I still don't lose hope and believe that I can achieve the new goals that I have set for my Dent Proper life. :) 
  • This 2016 I promise to work harder and improve my blog. Since I started opening my blog in public I didn't expect it'll come this far now. It became known and I've experienced the true perks of being a blogger. I got to interact and meet some fellow bloggers from all over the world, I have partnered and collaborated with a lot of different shops and brands, receive clothes from different international and local shops and buy the things on my wishlist with the money I get from blogging. 
  • This 2016 I'll save money for travel purposes. Since I started earning a little from my blog last year I used the money I got to travel and buy blog essential things. This year I promise to save more and work harder to explore and travel the places I've never been. 
  • Lastly, this 2016 I'm going to devote myself in doing everything that will make me happy. I'll focus on the things that will make me feel better, try to erase all the negativities and stay positive in whatever situation life brings me. :)

    Great goals. One of my biggest goals for 2016 is to say "yes" more & try new things as well. Sometimes I get in the habit of doing the same things over & over rather than stepping outside my comfort zone. :]

    Thanks for sharing such a great list of goals for the year. I think your goal to face challenges is a really good one to keep in mind. Overcoming obstacles and doing things outside of our comfort zone can lead to unexpected things that could be beneficial to our self-growth. That's something I know I personally gotta keep working on haha
