I think it’s pretty neat that even though time is just a agreement/illusion, that we still have goals and ambitions for the year that we use to better ourselves. I don't like that some people hate on New Years resolutions, I believe you're doing amazing by setting goals for the new year. I pray that all of your goals are met and that you exceed your expectations.

I pray that this year brings you genuine happiness. Everyone deserves to be happy. I know that we all go through so many different experiences that may not always be ideal, but it’s all for a reason. All your experiences will humble you later, you're going to go through so much. So whether or not you started your year off right, I hope you find positivity and happiness in everything. God has a plan for you.

I pray that you surround yourself with people who love and value you. You're worth so much!! Keep your circle filled with humans who want nothing but success for you.

I pray that 2018 brings you a lot of success. You cant expect success to be handed to you, so work hard towards your ultimate goal. Keep you goal in mind, envision it. You’ll have that sweet feeling of accomplishment one day!!

I pray that you grow outside of your comfort zone and that you find yourself. Growth is beautiful. I hope this year drives you to form your own options and try new things.

Most importantly I pray that you're healthy mentally and physically. I hope you treat your mind, body, and spirit with care and love. Self love is very real. Start showing yourself the love you would want others to show you.

I pray for everyone before myself because I know that even though it is very trendy to be “selfish” lately, and while that isn't necessarily a bad thing because it IS important to think about yourself first sometimes, compassion towards others is more fulfilling than anything else. It okay to be forgiving (given that you aren't repeatedly being hurt the same way by the same person), it’s okay to put others first, and it’s okay to let your guard down!! I pray for my family and my friends before myself. Pray for others and yourself because prayer is powerful.

I hope this year you take chances, find love, and make every day count.
