NEW YEAR RESOLUTION

A New Year's resolution is something people love to write down or think about at the end of each year or on the first day of each year.

New resolutions are a good thing to work on, but the problem is how many can survive the first week. Someone said, "New Year resolutions are first-week to-do list"; the rest is history. Not to talk of the rest of the months that are to come.

You know, I sat down thinking about this new year's resolution. I was like if it's something that the majority struggle to finish the first month of the year working on it, what could be the problem?

 It's something that I also experienced in the past. And I was like, what could be the problem? These are things I want to see myself living by. Why is it that I've thrown them away in no time as if I've never written them only to come across them as the year runs by and read through, though feeling wow, I wrote all these and just smiled.

It’s like everybody wants to take "I no go gree" as a New Year resolution. Well, whatever it is you don't want to agree to is a choice you have made and must have counted the cost.

My conclusion to New Year's resolution is the fact that it is a list of things you want to see yourself being able to get rid of and things you want to welcome into your lifestyle.

Picturing it this way means they are things you have decided to be conscious of. Due to your consciousness, it came to a point where you started getting tired of keeping up with the act and finally decided to shove it aside.

First, what do you want to achieve with those resolutions? Have you ever thought about it?

Secondly, what is the driving force that is going to stand for you as fuel to be able to keep going? Have you given it a thought before writing or thinking about those New Year's resolutions?

What you want to become starts from what you want to achieve, and the driving force to help you become the person you have envisioned is the result.

Without a specific destination, several detours are to occur.

Those detours weaken you and make you forget the process you have written down (New Year resolutions) into becoming a better version of you.

Get the goal before you and fuel your tenacity with the mind that pictures the result. When you focus on the goal, it will shape you as you journey through achieving it.

The process shapes you into the kind of person that will attain such a result. In any case, if you find yourself doing things that won't get you that goal, it shows the result is yet to capture your mind.

What you set your mind on, that's what will easily display itself in your life. So, living with the result in your mind and looking at the goal will automatically shape your way of life without writing down what to do or not to do. It will happen like a reflex action because you are not abiding by a rule of guide but by a force drawn from your desire.

So, have you written down New Year resolutions, or have you written down goals to achieve?

Are you still checking your list of Do's and Don'ts? How many have you kept so far, and how many have you broken already?

Just focus on that goal, and you will naturally dance to the tune of doing things that will help you achieve them unless your goals are things that won't positively affect your life.

Have a wonderful year.
