So today marks the very first day of 2019 and how time flies! and I just noticed that the last post I ever done here was back in Feb 2018. Anyway, I'm not here today to write a long list of new year resolutions like I always did in the past. I mean, it is not new year resolution but more like a lifelong goal.
I remember I used to write things like "Oh I want a fitter body, better physique" "I want to travel to somewhere new this year" "I want to earn more money!" and guess what happened at the end of the year? barely 70% of them are achieved. I thought about it for awhile, all these resolutions all these goals and expectation, why do we need to wait till before a new year starts then only we start realizing hey I'm going to do it in a brand new year cause it meant a new start! I thought it is suppose to be something that's on going, not something that you only been reminded of when it is almost coming to an end.
So this year I have no any special resolutions made, I only have one goal to meet.

"To be true and kind to myself"
Because this is when you start talking and listening to yourself, not being told what you should or shouldn't do by those voices around you.
Of course I have so many things I wish to achieve in the coming years, but I first need to learn how to be true to myself. For me it is the right step that I should take if I'm really expecting a better year ahead! It is ok to stop and ponder for awhile, it is ok to take a break, it is okay to take it slow. You will get there anyway, what matters most is not always about how fast and easy you get to the destination, it is when you start appreciating the beautiful little things you meet along the way.
