I have a theme for 2012. I’ve never assigned a theme to a year before but maybe it’s time.

My theme for 2012 is BELIEVE.

Grab onto the optimism of youth when everything was possible.

Throw out the cynicism of age that comes from seeing so many failed attempts and crumbled dreams fall along the path of life.

Let those experiences go. Take the lessons learned and be thankful for the wisdom gained no matter how painful.

Celebrate the resilience of the human spirit. Recognize that the journey is not done. There’s still more ahead and with strength and perseverance there’s still time to reach your dream.

If you Believe you can, you will. So just…BELIEVE.
