It's that time of the year when resolutions are made. A lot of people write them down in jotters, sticker notes or diaries, while others create a special file for them. I've never made a resolution - sounds unbelievable right? I was actually thinking about it today and wondered why I've never made out time to make a resolution, since it naturally translates to wanting to do things better in the new year. I honestly do not have a clear cut answer to that. However, I'm a bit superstitious and I believe that once I say certain good things out, they will be jinxed. The same thought may have been an unconscious reason why I've never made resolutions.
Anyway, 2013 was a very good year. I'm grateful to God for that but like every human being (we are insatiable), I wish I achieved more. It's not like I did not try hard, but I should have tried harder. Based on the need to do better this year, I reminisced on the past year and found out areas where I failed. The most slacked area was in my studies (yea I'm a student) and it is not funny one bit. It wasn't entirely my fault but who cares (nobody trust me). I've decided that my studies will not suffer again, hence the need to make a list of things to achieve this year. It had to be realistic and achievable so i ran to Google to find something close to my new year dreams.
The picture below is so apt. It is my own list of resolutions. Number 1 is something I'll endeavour to stick to, to reduce or completely avoid stress. Number 2 equals positivity (everybody wants that), number 3 on the list is something this blog hopes to promote (read the blogger profile). Number 4 enables me leave everything in the hands of God as long as I do number 5. I'll try and abide by them, hopefully I'll give a good account at the end of the year. So help me God, Amen.
Please feel free to share your plans and resolutions in the new year. God bless us all.
One Love,

I also need to spend less. Very important, especially on stuff I really don't need. Before I buy, will ask: do I really need it?
ReplyDeleteI need to start living on a tight budget and also, work hard to kick away procrastination.
