"The universe is conspiring in your favor"
"May the odds be ever in your favor"
(feel free to insert other random relatable quotes...) <3.Most people think if I act this certain way - maybe that thing that I wanted last year will happen this year; maybe if I become a better person good karma will finally notice me.
Self-improvement is reinforcing positive self-motivation to find meaning in our daily lives, to welcome change, and to expose oneself to new opportunities. With that being said, I think making new year resolutions is an awesome way of reminding yourself that life is changing; you're never too old to dream big dreams.
2014
Too many times have I closed myself off and become too self-absorbed. My boss actually called me cocky and I was really offended that day but then after some self-reflection I see how people can think that I'm cocky because I keep things to myself, because I don't depend on anyone, because I'm alone most of the time. I realize I became this way because I told myself, I don't ever want to feel hurt or vulnerable again, but the thing is - this leads to me to feel empty inside. So this year, I want to make the effort to have personal relationships with others, to trust myself, and to be a better friend.
Ever since I graduated, I've been cruising on in life not wanting to accept that I'm an adult now, I got bills to pay, I got a future to work for and all the additional stress adults go through. I've just been doing me; not really caring what other people think of me, foolishly acting on my desires, recklessly disregarding responsibilities, and thinking everything is going to be okay. So this year, I want to focus on developing my professional skills so I can be a top candidate for employers.
Even though I hate the idea of routine, I notice that I'm becoming a super dry and boring person -
Work - Gym - Sleep - Repeat (with the occasional weekend parties)I don't ever want to be defined as a "super dry and boring person". Goodness gracious, I was voted as most creative girl in high school, how did I fall into this trap? So this year, I want to re-invite creativity and spontaneity in my life - I want to draw more, write more, travel more, sing more, spend more time outdoors, do more outfit of the days, pick up on other creative things I've always wanted to excel in - paint, design (currently thinking of designing a vanity!!!), learn how to change the oil in my car, compose my own songs, record an acoustic cover, and learn how to dance to a k-pop song. (Now you see how my new years resolution tend to become outrageously long).
There are so many things I want to do, but 2014, I'm just going to let all my wishes float in the sky, and have faith that God will make the wishes that I was destined for to shine brightly. In all honesty, I'll be thankful for anything I can accomplish this year.
To my readers <3,
Don't ever take life for granted that you are always making future plans. Remember that life happens now. I hope you are able to make your resolutions count every day.
