As we bring in the new year, so many resolutions are made by people who do not actually plan on following up on them. What's the point then? People use the motto "new year, new me," but most of the time that is not the case. Although nothing huge has changed other than the month, and the number you'll be writing as you sign the date, you are the change of the new year. Your actions and their effectiveness in the new year will be the change.
Most of the time people go back their "last year" ways and do not change / improve themselves. Instead, make this year your year. Set goals for yourself and actually follow through with them. Don't be afraid to take up new opportunities. Don't be afraid to project how you feel. Don't be afraid to try new things, or to even settle on the things that you have always found comfort in. Forget about old negative memories and try to make the best of new situations. Meet and talk to new people, and rekindle old relationships that have fallen out of your life. Stay motivated. Cherish good times with friends and try to avoid anything negative.
2016 had its ups and downs, but it's important to move past it and start fresh. 2017 is a brand new year to develop the best version of yourself.
Have the right mindset to make it the best one yet.
