10 Quotes To Inspire You For The New Year Ahead
- David Stidston
Firstly, a massive Happy New Year to you and your family! We farewell what has been an extremely difficult and challenging year, with adversities at an extent we have never faced before. COVID-19 has completely changed the complexion of the way we live, and there is still much to be done with containing the virus before we are able to return to the sort of normality we are used to. Be it on a global scale, a national level, or even just on a personal level, adversity and challenge is always going to be part and parcel of life though. In this knowledge, it then comes back to how we deal with it. We can choose to curl up in a ball, shut the door on life, and hide ourselves away from the world, in the false hope that things will get better by themselves. We can wave our hands in the air, play the victim of life, whinge, complain, and again, live in the false hope that things will get better by themselves. But what we should be doing though is embracing the adversities and challenges that life throws at us, be seeking the opportunity of what life is trying to teach us, and be proactive in using the potential within us to be creating a solution, as it's by doing so that we learn, grow, develop, and mature, in life. That experience helps strengthen us, and can ultimately help lead us to success. Despite whatever challenges and adversities lie ahead for us in 2021, with the right attitude, behavior, and mindset, this year can become one of great success, satisfaction, fulfillment, happiness, and prosperity for us. The new year always brings us great opportunity to identify what we desire for our future, what goals we want to achieve, and how we wish to live our life. It can be a time where we set resolutions, but for the vast majority of people, such resolutions don't last any longer than February, making them fruitless. We need to gain a clear understanding of exactly what our main goal in life is, to achieve. It needs to be a goal that drives us, and that drive will only ever be present if we have an internal emotional attachment to what we want to achieve. It needs to be a goal that we would do anything for, in order to achieve it, one that we will never allow ourselves to give up on. It needs to be a goal that pushes us to continually persevere and remain resilient, even despite all the failures, setbacks, rejections, and challenges, we face along the journey. Once we can get clear on such a goal, then we need to start doing the hard work. We need to be making changes, taking risks, making sacrifices, and applying ourselves to the actions that are working towards that goal. There are a few years of hard work and sacrifice ahead of us, but in the long run, it will well and truly be worth it. The thing is, now is the time to start that journey! Now is the time to set that goal, and start working on creating a future that is blessed with success, happiness, satisfaction, fulfillment, and prosperity, for ourselves. Despite all that's happened in years gone by, today becomes a totally fresh start. You deserve all the rewards and blessings that life can bring, but only you can prove you are indeed worthy of that, and again, that is all dependent on your attitude, behavior, and mindset. 2021 can become the year that you positively transformed your life! Here are 10 quotes to inspire you to get motivated for the new year, and to start taking action on building a future that is filled with success, happiness, and prosperity.

- Neil Gaiman

10 Quotes To Remind Us Of The Importance Of Serving Others
I find it astounding how so many people live their life with the belief that the pathway to happiness, greatness, satisfaction, wealth, and success, comes via selfishness, greed, and by undermining others. That's right, a vast number of people worldwide actually believe that caring only about themselves, ignoring those less fortunate than them, refusing to help or give to others, and treating others with complete disrespect and ill consideration, is the sure way to achieving an amazing and rewarding life. It's no coincidence that the overwhelming majority who believe this, quite often find themselves living their life in complete dissatisfaction, unhappiness, bitterness, anger, and failure. They find themselves constantly chasing money and happiness, which continually eludes them. Their decisions and actions are based solely on what benefits them, as they turn their backs on others who may be in need of support, encouragement, or help. The worst part to this, is quite often it's even their own friends, family, and neighbors, to whom they decline to assist. Money is the biggest culprit, as people crave and worship it, always seeking to possess it rather than use it for the greater good of the world. Whilst life is about finding happiness, success, and fulfillment, for ourselves, we all also have an obligation to be helping our fellow man and woman. There's nothing that prevents us from striving for our goals, whilst helping and supporting others in the process. Together, being goals driven and serving others, combine for a magical combination. Those who live their lives helping others, displaying generosity and kindness, and bringing joy and support to others, are usually the most happy and satisfied people on the planet. Helping others actually helps ourselves, because the satisfaction we gain from doing so, enhances our lives. We should be living to serve others, always seeking ways to enhance their lives, encouraging them to achieve their goals, and supporting them to create success and happiness. Serving others isn't about doing what others tell you to do, living your life to be pleasing them. Serving others is about allocating your time and money to help improve the lives of others, not to be a slave to them. It's about bringing joy and happiness to their lives, whilst being there to support them, encourage them, and uplift them, to be creating a better future for themselves. Here are 10 quotes to remind us of exactly how important serving others is in life, and how we can help build a better future for, not only them, but ourselves also.

Vocal & my relationship to publishing traditionally
Ever since my small writing beginnings, when I started writing on Vocal in February 2021, I had been in a truly terrible slump & funk when it came to my writing. I had so many unfinished projects, ideas, half finished manuscripts and first chapters that were going nowhere.

Change Hopeless Negativity to an Optimistic Success Mindset
One of the reasons that people develop a sense of hopeless negativity is because they view their life goals, their relationships, their dreams and their needs in light of what should have been instead of what is.
