Unfortunately, I'm one of those who are afraid that the Mayan Prophecy would come true and Mankind would become extinct. Or there will be a new beginning. Either way, it does not sound too promising.
Before the world comes to an end ( That's my negatvity specking ), perhaps it's time to make a few ( Last ) resolutions. Exactly a year ago, my resolution was to cut my hair. I did, but it reverted to the haystack that it was.
:( To be honest, I've never really believed in New Year Resolutions. Every year, I resolve to be thinner, but my waistline keeps expanding towards the opposite sides of the East-West line instead. And, sometimes, northwards. A resolution, in my opinion, shouldn't be made at the start of the year. It makes the task look daunting and impossible to achieve. Those who make resolutions that are easy to fulfil would tend to proocrastinate, because we know we have more than 11 months to take up the challenge.
An effective way that I learned from a Japanese Drama ( Never Underestimate The Power Of The Media ) , is to write your goal on a piece of paper and paste it in a place where you can see it everyday. In the drama, the young man wanted to make a million dollars to buy a house for his ill mother. When ever he faced difficulties, he would look at the paper and recall his mission to spur himself on.
Perhaps we could take a leaf out of his book and paste our resolution beside the poster of our favourite idol. For Me, My Favourite Idol will be always ♥ ~ AKB48 ~ SKE48 ~ NMB48 ~ ♥ After all, we see that poster everyday, don't we ?
Alternatively, find someone who has achieved what you want to, so you can use him or her as a role model. Don't burn with jealousy every time you see them. Channel that envy into something more positive to motivate yourself to reach the goal.
Are You Up To The Challenge ?
