New Year’s Resolutions

I believe everyone has new resolutions every year. They make resolutions to challenge themselves every year to improve their quality of life so there is always new enthusiasm every year to live their best lives.

If I do not have a resolution, then my life does not have a challenge for me to pass and reach my goals. Every day will feel boring and flat because I do not have that goal to be achieved. I would only let myself go with the flow and do whatever happens on each day. I believe if we don't have any plans to do something useful that can help us achieve our goals, there will be no exciting challenges, and there will be fewer happy moments in our lives.

People who make resolutions every year usually have a higher resolution target than the previous year but, they can also continue to try to reach their goals from the previous year if they have not been achieved yet. You must dare to get out from your comfort zone to prove to yourself and others that you can do whatever you focus on. You will be very proud and happy when all your goals have been reached.

Some of my resolutions are that I will try to be more confident in front of people, that I will start eating healthy foods, that I will stop complaining about life, that I will save more money, and that I will enter the university that I want. To achieve all these goals, I must prove my intentions, pray, and always try hard to achieve them. We shouldn’t give up easily because I believe everything can be done if there is a willingness to do it. Sometimes support from the people around us can also be influential, and it can be used as motivation and encouragement for us to keep trying to achieve the things we want.
