2020 is no doubt unforgettable. This is the year we all got affected. Our
life was suddenly stopped and changed. We
were all caught-up unprepared. Fear,
uncertainty wrapped around the world. And
it taught us lessons. Those lessons, I
want to live them thru my New Year’s resolutions.
When making New Year resolutions, don’t get
confuse resolutions over wishes. Resolutions mean it’s like you are
promising, not wishing something. So in
no particular order, here are my 2021 New Year Resolutions:
1. "I will make myself more God-fearing person"
2020 taught me to realize to make good our
existence in this earth. Everything in
this earth has its time. We are in time
now where people are at their worst - invincible, violent, greedy, liar. And these made me agreed the prophecies. Yes, I am afraid of it but I thought thru
holding into God’s compassion, I want to please Him as much as I can.
The year was eye-opener and wake-up call to
reflect. I want to be kind. Maybe not religiously by the book, but by
heart because I admit it is difficult but by having a child-like heart, I
guess.
2. "I want to improve my health"
I’m not getting any younger now. My goal is to reach 60 without health issues
though I find it harder now but I need to motivate myself. Health is wealth. I don’t want to spend my entire pension for
medicine. Yes, it’s inevitable as part
of aging but I want it gracefully.
3. "Be serious to save more"
Last year it was one of my resolutions but I
did not meet it. New year resolution is not
silly thing. Yes you may not able to do I
but still it is better to have because at least you have good start and
motivation that you can focus on.
The pandemic taught me the need to have big
savings. So that in case a big unexpected event happened like this, at least
you can go a long way. I need to go back
to my core – that is simplicity. Make it
simple, and I can get rid of less important.
4. "Have quality connection to family and friends"
This year, I want to improve my relationship to
my family and friends. I am so quiet and
independent person and these overshadow my sincerity to them. The problem with me is I don’t really speak
much because I am running out of words and matters to talk. I am more into messaging. But I think I need
to talk to them more often.
5. "Keep Optimistic"
Last but, definitely not the least. For me,
2020 is the least liked year but from here I want to pick-up lesson of
positivity. That out of this downside, we can look at the lighter side.
In times I feel sad about uncertainties, I want
to believe this pandemic will pass and the cure will generally effective. When I feel frightened and helpless about
dooms prophecies, I will turn and hold on to my faith. In times I feel pressured and losing hope, when
times and age are against me, I will uphold to my belief that all these, I can
fully free from my dues and enjoy my retirement plans.
I just hope 2021 is better year, just keep
on praying.
