res·o·lu·tion

noun

1. a firm decision to do or not to do something

I have always thought resolutions seems rather dumb. Just because it's a new year you have to figure out things you want to change about yourself. You don't have to decide to go to the gym and then quit well into January just because it's the new year. You shouldn't make silly goals because everyone else does by the time the clock strikes midnight. So I've made a list of things I aspire to do all year long and even in the years to come. Here's 10 resolutions I'll always have.

1. Grow Stronger

Not just physically but also mentally. My health is important.

2. Grow Smarter

Education comes first.

3. Grow Kinder

Nothing is better than a genuine smile or compliment.

4. Grow Closer to God

Self explanatory.

5. Do The Things I Want/ What I love

Travel, try new things, experience more, take more pictures, ect.

6. Surround Myself With Great People

Friends and family who love, care, and encourage me.

7. Keep The Toxic People Out

People not worth my time.

8. Have More Gratitude

In turn make my attitude better and my heart more gracious.

9. Work Hard

Colossians 3:17

10. Love Myself & Who I am

I am too often hard on myself and my own worst critic.
