The question here today is what impact did 2018 have on me. For most they'd say new people came and went in their life's. But there is more to that, than something that happens every year.

Every year that passes each one of us learns just that must more. We adapt to new discoveries of life and we learn more about ourselves than we previously knew.

So as I sit here and wonder what 2018 did for me, I suggest you do the same.

See, 2018 has been a year of challenges, and obstacles that reveal parts of ourselves that we may not want to see or haven't seen. As for many people it meant change, changing your views, your motivation and overall changing yourself.

But at the end of it we are still faced with this one question, what did it effect in my life?

I fall somewhere in the category of change and self awareness. This past year I've had to deal with homelessness, financial issues, lack of motivation. Above it all I had to face the fact I didn't like who I was.

I relied on others to help me through my 'tough' times and never really took a second to see the damage I was inflicting on myself.

We learn a great deal each year that passes but with that, it's about overcoming and accepting the lessons life throws our way. It's quite simple, yet the hardest thing to grasp.

My lessons were about never letting the harshness of life determine who I am, no matter what life threw at me. How no financial setting nor escape from reality can make me lose sight of my goals in life. What are your lessons?
