Let's summarize 2011 with some relation to the resolutions made for it.
I've spent more time with my parents and managed to gain some successes in communicating with them.
- Be more patient, for my old man and woman
I didn't travel much but I embraced the few trips I had gone for.
I resigned to laying low and kept calm.
- Let people say what they want to say and I speak only when they want to listen.
I've spent a lot of my time alone and made some friendships work and let go of the others I'd previously had hope for.
I've also outgrown clubbing.
- Choose people wisely - learn to say no.
I'd completed my degree in Business with University of Newcastle.
- Finish off degree in business (management and marketing) well
Buckled down to find a job that I'd be able to fulfil and perform realistically.
- Understand we're no longer young. No time for foolishness
I learned to manage people - a types of people and learned to analyse characters well to their true manners.
- Develop my brain into a cognitive machine for especially social issues
There have been times where I am tested to my limits and have felt hopelessly frustrated but in it all it has resulted in inner peace and happiness.
- Worship life and live joyously with humour and direction - Become the pillar of strength not just for others but also for myself.
I'm still making plans and still fine-tuning them to make them work as well as I want them to be.
I've become more daring and less afraid. I have become a better communicator.
- I shall no longer be content. Work hard beyond the boundaries of others, geography, money, judgement and myself to seek exactly what I want; exactly what happiness is.
I haven't felt so afraid and yet excited about the coming year.
This year I'll be 23. I've 7 more years to consider marriage and 10 more to figure out a business to set up. The last quarter of 2011 felt like a preview of what's coming soon. What I've experienced has been equally scary and amazing.
So for the new years resolutions:
- Make time to read, reflect, frame and write.
- Focus on my strengths and drop the mere interests.
- Attain more skills - applicable ones.
- Do not be a deer in the headlights.
- Love my body, my face - exercise and religiously go through a daily facial regime.
- Sleep is for the weak - center on motivation.
- Be organized and journal everything. Everything is important.
- Be more aware with what I say and always think thrice.
- Manage a social life.
- Gotta stop peeling my nails.
