2018 might have put you through your own personal hell. Maybe, you experienced heartbreak. Maybe, you lost a loved one. Maybe, you experienced something traumatic. Maybe, you felt depressed, worn down, and worthless. Maybe, you were stressed about money, your job, school, or you were dealing with family issues. Whatever it may be, it made 2018 a difficult year for you.

But that doesn't have to be true for 2019. You can control how your 2019 turns out. Or least, have some control. It is up to you to have a positive attitude walking into 2019. It is up to you to find strength in the toughest moments and to move forward when it feels like the world is holding you back. It is up to you to take charge of 2019 and make it your year.

Make 2019 your year. Work hard at your job. Put away some money so that you can continue your education or so that you can travel. Read a book. Start a journal and make it a point to write in it once a week. Try new foods. Take a weekend off and go to the lake. Spend time with your loved ones. Start a new hobby. Learn to knit, or to paint, or take a cooking class. Finish the projects you started. Meet new people. Make new friends. Let 2019 be your year.

Let 2019 be the year that you further improve yourself. Work on your attitude and your outlook on life. Work on improving your health. Take your vitamins. Drink more water. Eat your fruits and vegetables. Go to the gym. Or work out at home. But make it a point to work on your health. Work on improving your faith. Read your bible or start a daily devotional. Start going to church on a consistent basis. Work on learning how to listen to those around you. Work on improving your support system and work to be a support system for those you care about.

Make 2019 your year. Your year to improve you. Your year to grow and be stronger. 2018 put you through your own personal hell, but 2019 is a fresh start. Let 2019 be your year.
