2022 is here. Now what? Any new year’s resolutions? Well, thanks for asking! This year, I resolve to keep an open mind.

I understand not everyday is going to be the same. There will be days when I will want to stay in bed and do nothing. But believe me, there will only be a few of these days.  Today I want to share with you 22 things to remember as you start 2022.

22 Things To Remember As You Start 2022

Warning: I might get a little spiritual about the things to remember

1- Prayer helps

Prayer gives hope. And who are we without hope?

2- Love heals

Especially self-love. But also, being in a loving relationship. That can heal passed pain and disappointments. Love and allow others to love you. That’s probably the most important thing from the 22 things to remember.

3- Pain is inevitable

God never promised a life without pain. Even His son, Jesus, went through it. What we do while we are going through it is what’s important. He will never leave nor forsake us. That’s what we need to remember.

4- Not all people are bad people.

Give people a chance. Learn who they are. Then make a decision. Don’t just assume that they are bad.

5- Growth does not happen overnight

Maturity takes time, and your growing season might be longer than mine.

6- Some people might never grow up

Growing up is not easy. Aging is a natural process. So, we get old, but never really grow up, because growing up requires discipline, and some people don’t have that.

7- Believe in Acceptance

Don’t try to change anybody. Instead, ask yourself, “Am I worth changing for?”

8- Use your time wisely

Don’t waste your time on stupid stuff

9- Be VERY intentional

Wake up every morning with clear intentions. Stay focused. What you focus on is very important . Stop being all over the place. It confuses the Universe.

10- Having a vision helps

Create a vision board if you have to. Use pictures. Make a collage of things that you really want to happen in your life, and it will happen. Don’t worry about when. It will happen.

11- Forgiveness is not for the forgiven, it’s for the forgiver

Don’t you feel better after forgiving someone who has done you wrong? Oftentimes, we hold on to things that the people who did us wrong already forgot about. They are out there living their best lives, but we are in a corner still holding on to the pain.

12- You are wonderfully made

You are not here by accident. God has a plan for you.

13- It’s okay to cry

Crying helps let go of pain. It frees your mind and soul

14- Life does not always go as planned

There will be bumps on the roads and it’s okay.

15- You don’t work for people, you work for God.

Focus on the work that you are doing for God, not for men.

16- It’s okay to fail

Failure teaches us what we did not do right. Make sure you learn from the experience.

17- Slow down and enjoy every moment

Live in the moment. Rushing through life only makes it shorter.

18- Negative people bring negative energy

We need positive vibes. Negative people can suck the life out of you. Keep your peace. Save your energy.

20- When God speaks, listen

It’s hard to hear it sometimes, but God does speak to us. Just listen to that small voice.

22- Stay passionate

Don’t give up on the things you love. Keep going! That’s the only way you will get to where you want to be.
