Wow, another year has ended. It truly is amazing how magnificent time can be, as we see the progression of ourselves flourish over the year.
I must admit, starting 2015 I was scared. I was afraid of what was going to come my way throughout the year, I was afraid of who I was going to result in. But looking back, I shouldn't have been scared because there is no 'result' to who I am- it's just me. The incredible philosophy of 'finding who you are' has no finish line because all you do is rediscover and readjust who you are in order to be the best you can put yourself to. That's something valuable that I've learnt.
In 2016, I hope to follow the motto "Have courage, and be kind." I really feel that fear brings out the worst in me keeping me from doing a lot of things. So I want to step over that and try new things; whether it's particularly small or something big. Kindness is one of the words where it's easier said than done. To be honest, there were times in 2015 where I was controlling towards people (my friends and peers) and it kind of came out that way- it was never my intention to be controlling but it kind of happened. There was A LOT of drama happening in the year and it got me really angry, which I sometimes took out on my friends. Everyone was just frustrated at what had occurred and I was trying to calm everyone down but it didn't result that way. So, this year I'm going to focus on portraying that trait of kindness. "An act of kindness is a spontaneous gesture of goodwill towards someone or something- our fellow humans, the animal kingdom, and the kingdom of nature. Kind words and deeds come from a state of benevolence, generated by a core response deep within all of us."
The above things said, are not 'New Year's Resolutions.' Personally, you shouldn't be making resolutions for yourself for just one year, simply because it is a new year. Or accomplishing those resolutions because you 'have to'. Resolutions shouldn't be a one time thing. After accomplishing it, you have to maintain that resolution/ goal, that's why I'm not a fan of resolutions. It gives you an idea that once you've accomplished it, it's to be forgotten, and you move onto the next one. That's why I much prefer goals.
Adding on, I'm not going to say "Be good to me 2016" or "Hope 2016 is a good year" simply because I feel that saying that phrase is like 2016 is planning something for you- the year is in control of you. I feel that if I want a memorable year, it's really up to me to make it that way. I can't rely on people/ things to make things better for me. This is my life, and how I choose to enjoy is up to ME. Bad days are inevitable and you can't hope for a whole year to be perfect. All you can do is hope to learn and make true friends and be content.
DON'T HOPE FOR A BETTER YEAR! HOPE FOR A BETTER YOU!
So with all that being said, I wish you guys a happy and healthy year!
