There are a lot of things to be grateful for in the year 2011. My life has been ups and downs this year but I have struggled to persevere and endure the not-so-good happenings that brought sadness and tears.
However, I have also experienced the wonderful living brought by the blessings that came along the way of my journey. Life, as I define it is indeed balanced: you win some and you lose some.
Being a winner in life would take lots of courage and determination. I have been able to conquer my fears and doubts to be able to climb up, if not on the top at least one step higher. I made it to become the person that I am today because of my willingness to change. I succeed in changing my beliefs, perceptions, and negative thoughts about myself knowing that "I can if I will".
2011 has been so memorable to me as I recall the past events that made me smile for joy and tears for sorrow. Whatever those circumstances may be, it will be a thing of the past and will never be backed.

REFLECTION
We have welcomed the new year with gratitude for all the blessings that we have received for the past year and for the hope of attracting abundance for the new year. Gratitude is a very important virtue to practice for receiving more prosperity in life. I am grateful and feel blessed.
It is a nice feeling to become reunited with loved ones and to express love and affection. The beginning of the year was so bright and a good start to do things by the goal I have set.
THE BIRTH
We have also welcomed the new year with the birth of our youngest family member, Szymon Prince. He brought so much joy and blessing to the family. This young boy is the source of inspiration and happiness to his parents and siblings.
GRATITUDE
I have been blessed to become part of BE Life and I have gained deeper knowledge and wisdom about different aspects of life. I have met wonderful people who are my superiors, mentors, and colleagues who inspire me.
Thanks to my Spiritual mentors, my colleagues, my family, and friends for the support that they have shown to me for this year. Their presence is highly valued and appreciated.
OPPORTUNITY
I have learned to be more optimistic. The power of positive thinking is really true and it has made a difference in my life. There were moments of fear and doubt, but whenever they arise, I shift my thoughts to be positive and be on the right track.
I have learned "The Secret" to endless possibilities. The three words: Ask-Believe-Receive, to attract things that I want. We deserve to become abundant and that comes when we change our way of thinking. I have done it before and "The Secret" will be passed on to my loved ones and everyone who may need it.
It feels good to have a self-inventory of the whole years' experience. I have several questions about inventory this year. Questions like; did I make any progress on personal development? did I make a difference in someone's life? did I grow in spiritual maturity? and so much more to ask. On deeper reflection, I have found the answer to these questions and will continue to inventory myself each year for new personal development.
LIFE'S LIKE THAT
This year is not just happiness but a moment of grief to unexpected happenings. Life may be full of uncertainties and twists, and we have learned to accept it no matter how hurtful it may seem. This way, we learn to be strong and courageous.
THE LESSON
In life, one of the most important things above all is to take everything as a life lesson, may it be positive or negative. We take it as a challenge to live and fight for. It is also important to become a blessing to other people. I have been blessed and you may be blessed, so it is not a tough job to share it with people who mean so much to us. Sharing would depend on how we define it, but the question of how can we become a blessing to others is a challenge to ponder and take an action.
What a wonderful year 2011!
