New Year's Resolution


New Year’s Eve is a once in a year day, when people celebrate the fresh start of a new year. On this day, some hope for a new beginning, some over look the past year with its sad memories or miseries, and wish for a better start, while others hope for a year as good or better as the previous one. Consequently, people always tend to think about the intriguing thought of a fresh start, or a new beginning, so the first thing that comes to mind is a resolution. However, I object the mentalities of those who await the end of a year, or the beginning of another, to decide to change, or improve, something they thought necessary, or those who wish to turn the page, and never look back, make amends, rediscover themselves, or even redefine who they are, in order to serve themselves, the people they care about or their communities righteously. Evidentially, that is because I believe we don’t need a new year, just a date written down on the calendar, everyday to me is a new beginning, a new, and fresh start. For that reason, we shouldn’t waste our lives waiting for a new year to take a step forward, defining who we are, or our relationships with others. Life is short, we are meant to spend every minute doing what we believe fits it the most. In consequence, I do not have a new year’s resolution, since I do not believe in its existence. I tend to take decisions, or have a resolution whenever I think it is necessary, meaning I don’t waste my life feeling incomplete, confused, or in need of change, and do nothing about it. That to me is considered as an excuse, meant to hide weaknesses, pretending I’m just waiting for the right day, the right moment, or the right place to take another step forward. There is no better time for change.
