Love, Yourself

Dear Jia,

It's me. You know, that girl in 2010 who used to look back at you in the mirror. My name is Jia, and we have a lot in common. We have the same hopes, dreams and goals for the future. We've seen some ups in our life, but mostly, there has been a lot of downs. And things on my end are not looking good.

So this year, I am here to remind you what you really want out of life.

"A year from tomorrow you'll wish you started a new life today."

You've said this before, but never taken action. You give up too easily. You make a lot of excuses. So I am going to be here to remind you of those excuses and that they just aren't good enough. I am going to be here to remind you what's more important. Because you're going to have bad days, but it's hard to remember the good days. So I'm going to remind you. I'm going to push you. Because a year from tomorrow, you'll be glad that I did this for you today.

I'm writing you these letters today, here in old 2010 months before it even approaches 2011. Why? Because yesterday was a good day and sometimes those days don't come too often. So at a high point, I am writing you, to remind you that there are good days. There are beautiful days. And you are strong.

Each month there will be a post ready for you, automatically scheduled (because you'll probably forget and it'll be a nice surprise) and I'm going to remind you the difference a year can make. And here is your assignment: Follow my instructions and then blog about your progress. Show the difference in that year! Share the experience with others, and as you always hope to do . . . be an inspiration.

Love,

Yourself
