Many see the new year as an opportunity to renew themselves– “a new year, a new you.” It’s a time to reflect on the changes we want to make in our lives. Hence everyone makes a new year resolution

What is resolution?

Are you making a resolution because it’s fashionable or customary to do so? Does it target only personal growth or will it benefit others as well? Look at your resolutions as a personal project.

Resolution: A change or a commitment that a person makes to achieve certain goals. One should set goals but must have a clear vision of what you want. A vision is a compilation of thoughts that are associated with a cause that is for universal benefit. The thoughts that inspire you to work towards achieving your vision and infuse you with the strength to work upon what we think is true.

Fill up mind with positive thoughts

Our thoughts can be divided into various categories such as Negative Thoughts, Waste Thoughts, Necessary Thoughts and Positive thought. People live in the past or the future, they are unable to enjoy the present. Once they learn to live each moment of life then only necessary and positive thoughts will come to the mind. It is important to live in every moment and try to forgive and forget the bad and appreciate the good.

The mind should be clear of bad thoughts to make a clear vision and resolution for the new year. The time is now to make up your mind and enter the new century, yes 2020 is a new century, with positive and inspiring thoughts that will renew yourself.

Make realistic goals

Problem with New Year’s Resolutions is that they are too grand, and based on wishes rather than reality. Set realistic goals and stay focused, also make room for the “human connection”, be connected with the community and people around you as well. Let’s be realistic in what we want and how to achieve them.

Goals are not necessarily new. It can also be the change you want in your life. Accept your weakness and work towards changing them. Change does not occur by wishing it to occur. Whatever change we want will require a proper plan and a strict discipline to follow it.

Let’s be a better human being

Human beings may have raced ahead of plants and other animals in physical survival. Earth and environment are being exploited by human beings for their selfish ends. But within a human being  there is a war – against desire, avarice, ego, greed and envy, to name a few. Let’s resolve to win the inner battle. Because these things take a toll on peace, calm and happiness, both for the individual and humankind as a whole.

Remember one thing the best resolution is the one that will help us to get along with everyone. We call them – Longevity, Prosperity and Peace.

Try to live a simple, sincere and serene life. Discard every thought of discontent, anxiety and discouragement. Always be carefulness in conversation and diligence in appointed service.

Wishing you all a very blessed and Prosperous New Year 2020.
