No Fear in the New Year!

For years now I have given myself a new motto to embrace at the beginning of each new year. 

It all started with "everyday's a holiday" when I was in my twenties.  That was a no brainer and an easy enough goal to meet pretty regularly.  The goals moved on from there to more sensible ones like "just do it", "just say no [when I found myself saying yes too much]", "it's good enough [to break my habit of micromanaging]" and many, many more.  I even brought back "everyday's a holiday" to see how it felt again after all those years.  It wasn't the same as everything was so much more expensive and I found I actually had to work hard to go on those holidays.  Bummer....
So this year I've been thinking about what is it I could chant inside my head on a regular basis that will help me grow and be all that I can be?  I didn't want to join the army (ha ha - get it?) so I decided that if I just plow head first into this year with a fearless attitude about everything new that comes my way I am bound to end up with some pretty spectacular results.  I've always loved the idea of "what could I achieve if I weren't afraid of anything" - this is the year to find out!
Happy 2012 to you all.  It's going to be a great year!
