Year 2008 has ended so fast, and maybe most of us have done many different things from the years that passed. We may perhaps also discovered new talents we have, showed it off, and got very good comments about it. The feeling is really good every time we see ourselves improving. Isn’t it?
Now that another year of the Lord has begun, mean to say a “New Year,” to have a list of things to accomplish or re-accomplish for a certain time can be of great help in innovating and in knowing ourselves more.What are your plans to improve your skills? To have a more intimate relationship with God? What about the things you want to do just to have fun?
Underneath is a list of easy things, which I think, we often forget to do that we are supposed to.
- End every night and start every morning with a prayer.
- Always smile and look happy.
- Talk to someone you haven’t talked to for a long time.
- Thank all the people who have made a difference in your life.
- Forgive those who hurt you.
- Share your blessings to those in need.
- Work! Exercise your body!
- Keep a journal or blog and have it read by others.
- Make someone smile.
- Write a lot of poetries. Offer them to those important to you.
- Read philosophy books written by people like Paulo Coelho and Kahlil Gibran.
- Be punctual in every commitment.
- Keep the promises you made.
- Conquer your fears.
- Always be humble. Don’t brag. Damn it!
- Maintain your room clean.
- Learn to play a musical instrument.
- Greet your school instructors with a handshake. (I used to do this before.)
- Always do your best to make your parents happy.
- Save 50-75% of your allowance. Eat less.
- Give counsel to a troubled friend.
- Draw someone closer to God.
- Befriend anyone as long as you can.
- Make up for your past mistakes
- Make the most of 2009 by loving yourself!
The list above doesn’t stop there. It can go as far as your mind's eye. You could modify the things given or come about with your own list. All you need is the will and determination to be a better person and to make every year well-live and wisely spent!
¡Feliz Año Nuevo!
