First and foremost, a very Happy New Year to everyone ! Few days ago, me and my friend were texting and kinda landed on the topic of New Year’s resolution… I know it’s cliché and lasts only for a few weeks and yeah we can do our resolution anytime of the year we want… but since it’s new year, guess I’ll just use it as an excuse to re-arrange my life today, re-evaluate my priorities, and set-up new goals and drive for me… to a better life… coz to tell you all honestly, my life has been a piece of crap lately… it’s like it’s been jumbled so badly there seems to be no direction at all… it makes me sick how things in my life gets all mixed up going nowhere… so for my New Year’s Resolution slash New Goals and Directions in Life, my list goes:
- TAKE RISKS, STAY POSITIVE – it has done enormous changes and difference in my life and I intend to keep it that way… staying positive affects me over-all as a person. It made a huge blow in my life. I mean saying ‘Yes, I can do it’ instead of a ‘no’ makes a lot of difference. Life is a gamble. Every decision we make has a lot of consequences, it’s either we win or we lose, but in the end, it’s what we learn that’s what’s important. No matter what the outcome of our actions may be, we have to stand by it, and be positive. We can’t be a coward for the rest of our lives thinking that the risks we take may end up badly… letting go of something that may be so much wonderful but we will never know for we chose to just let it go away. Looking positively at both sides of the coin may change our life in a way we never thought it could be.
- LIVE BY THE GOLDEN RULE – “Do not do unto others what you do not want others do unto you.” As simple as that.
- LIVE MY LIFE OUTSIDE THE SHADOWS OF ANYBODY – If I do something, I do it for myself and not for anybody else. I do it because I’m happy doing it not because it’s what other people is telling me to do, or because it is what’s right. I have to stop living my life for other people’s dreams. I admit, before being an architecture student was not my dream… I intend to pursue it because I want to do it. Because I want to make a difference in my own life by pursuing this career. To give my parents a better life not because it’s what they want, but because it’s I want to do. Because making them happy is the greatest happiness I can achieve. But sad to say. I can't, that's why i decided to left archi and Go for HRM. But i promise ! This time, "Magsusunog ako ng kilay" :)
- EXTEND MY HELP TO ANYBODY WHO NEEDS IT – I have always wanted to be wonder woman, to help people in times of need. But I’m nothing close to her … not even in a million years. So what help can I give ? Financial ? Impossible ! I’m in need of it, ha-ha ! But I’m good in giving advices. Although I can’t always use my advice on myself (damn, why is it so hard ?), some people find my advices amazing when it comes to love and living life. It’s because I have taken it from my own experiences which makes it an effective one.
- LET GO OF THE PAST – I have always been trapped by my memories of the past. And I learned that I can never go on forward unless I let go of anything in the past that holds me back. I know I have already let go of some, but there are just many other things that happened which I just can’t let go of that easily. But I’m trying, I really am.
- IMPROVE MYSELF, KEEP ON LEARNING – I can say I’m a better person now than I am yesterday. It’s because I keep on learning things and I am determined to keep it as it is. I wanna learn how to play the guitar, or the piano. I wanna learn new languages such as Spanish, French, and Italian. Work better on my English. Everyday, I find grammatical errors on my blog-entries it makes me really embarrassed ! I wanna learn so much more. I want to improve myself and be a better person. And to do that, I have to compete with no other but myself. To me better than what I am before.
- TAKE CRITICISMS CONSTRUCTIVELY; IGNORE RIDICULES AND MOCKS AS IF THEY DON’T EXIST – Well, I easily get annoyed with people who criticize me or my course. Like when someone says something about me that I just don’t like, I easily get pissed such as “your hair sucks” or “you look like a frying pan today” and things like that ! Aaargghhh they just get into my nerves … I dunno why. But what I can do is take those criticisms constructively and in the end benefit from them. See for myself what needs improvement, and work on it for the better. I know, some people can’t help but to point their fingers at other people and notice somebody else’s shortcomings but I’ll just have to keep in mind that no matter what other people say, they can never put me down. I’m a wonderful person and even if no one else agrees, God does and it’s more than enough with me.
- ACCEPT MY MISTAKES AND LEARN FROM THEM – I’m a very, very stubborn person. There are some instances that I rationalize my mistakes instead of accepting it and trying to find a way to work better on it. I make mistakes and I have to acknowledge it no matter how bad it hurts me. I just have to learn from it.
- LIVE LIFE TO THE FULLEST – I have always been grumpy. Most of the time, I tend to just sleep my day through expecting a better day tomorrow. But that is one, huge mistake. There are so much more to do. I have wasted so much time by doing silly things that doesn’t really matter. I can’t fulfill my dreams and ambitions if I don’t act now. Life can end anytime that’s why I want to live life to the fullest. To be happy, and smile, and extend an arm to those people in need, to share the blessings that I have, the love that I receive, the happiness that overflows me at times… in a bat of an eye, life can end. We only have one life, and that’s what I’m trying to keep in mind.
- GIVE AS MUCH LOVE AS I CAN – What more can I say ? Being loved is one of the greatest feelings you can have no matter how small or big you get. Even if I don’t get as much as I give, I am happy to offer love as much as I can, knowing that someone else is happy with what I can proffer. That alone makes me so much delighted.
Haha, well, that’s it. To sum it all, my wish for myself this New Year is to be a better person. Those changes above don’t just happen overnight. It takes time to do most of them, but I’m willing to change, and I’m starting today. Well, it may not win me the “Best Person in The World” Award, but it can make the world a little more suitable place to live in (one less evil person in the world, haha !) with me being the little goody-good girl that I can be. Hahaha ! HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE ! GOD BLESS US ALL ! :0)
For the Record: This is something people won't expect from me, but what I do expect from myself.
