Making yourself a better person at New Year
I will pay my debts on time, I will buy a house, I will save money, I will spend time for my family…the list is actually endless and do we really fulfill each of these New Year resolutions most times we don’t we just forget them as early as the 15th of January and think of them again on the 31st of December. Sounds humorous? Actually it is funny the way we decide, decide and decide and finally end up nowhere. But the important thing is the attitude. I always like the famous prayer “Lord, help me to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can and the wisdom to know the difference”.
It is truly important for each of us to be willing to change, we cannot change things around us most of the time. People seem to be impossible at times, situations seem as if they will never change, children seem not to co-operate but do not get frustrated, you can make all the difference. You can change the way you see the world, the way you look at things and the way you treat others will be the way you will be treated. So look ahead with confidence determine what you want to be and strive for it.
New year resolutions are most of the time a failure but make them achievable. Review your goals every month and see to what extent you have achieved. One cannot live blindly just move with the tide, just survive…God has created us to have a beautiful life and a full one. So your first resolution this year would be to keep your New Year resolutions and review them periodically.
Firstly think of all the times you have failed may be in business or at home. Times when you felt you should have done better or times when you felt you could manage your account more wisely financially. There may be several other areas which need rectification, areas where you really want to make amends list them down. Complete 5 points each month and do it regularly. If you have decided to spend more time with your family, keep your weekends off, take them out somewhere…make sure you keep your word. It is only between you and God…you are in this world to live a full life and a good long one so keep yourself relaxed, avoid too much stress and be happy always.
If you really try you can definitely change the things you can actually change and make a difference in someone else’s life. You may also decide to help the poor and needy, the sick, the worn, and those in troubles, in sorrow this New Year. Yu know it is very special when you are not just worried about your own problems but also able to put a smaile on someone else’s face. It means a lot and it will not just be a very happy New Year for you it will be a beautiful one for them too..
