New Year Resolution



Dixya Poudel

There is a significant allure in new beginnings. New Year is one such beginning where people feel inspired to start their life anew. As a collective society, we yearn for change while resisting and resenting it a little as well. And one of the important factors in healthy growth is inspiration. What we admire we become and what we seek we find. Thus, it is essential to constantly gauge our standards with the people we admire. As such, this New Year, we must take into factor our innermost wishes, dreams and ambitions while we work our way towards achieving our goals.

As young students learn to jot down their homework and maintain their school diaries, they learn to allocate their time. And time is of the utmost essence which is why young minds must learn to prioritise their ambitions. Further, our priorities change in time. What we used to yearn for a decade ago will give way to different aspirations as we age. As a child, we yearn to be an adult while as an adult we seek childlike delight in life. Regaining our childlike inquisitions and merging it with our skills as an adult go a long way in materialising our goals in life.

All of us have different dreams and ambitions but every one of us wants to be happy, successful and joyous. It is what drives us each day as we face the tasks ahead. This New Year, resolve to be the best that you can be. It can sound a little cliché but the truth is when we become the best at work, home, relationships and life in general we will be rewarded with achievements.

Meanwhile we receive contentment that comes from knowing that we did our best. When we put the past behind us and instead look to the future for prosperity, the present materialises into accomplishments. What are your resolutions this New Year? You might seek to succeed at your courses at school, make new friends, get a promotion at work or simply excel at your passion. Envisioning is only the first step towards achieving of our dreams.

Next step is resolution. Determination goes a long way in fulfillment of our innermost ambitions. It can help to write down your ambitions for the coming year and share them with your family and friends. When we wish on the birthday candle or a fallen eyelash, we secretly hope for dreams to come true. However, keeping our goals to ourselves won’t get us far which is why it is important to share them with our loved ones. They will keep us on track and supply us with encouragement throughout the completion of our dreams.

Perhaps this New Year, you yearn for love and friendship. Perhaps you seek the wellbeing of the ones you love. Or you simply want to be happy. Like each New Year, you make promises not just to others but also to yourself. Let this New Year be the year you achieve all that you hope for.

In the tediousness and routine of life, take the first day of the New Year to let go of grievances and instead embrace the truth, the just, the kind, the beauty and the happiness in you. Happy New Year 2022!
