7 New Year's Resolutions for 2017
DaDa Rocks

1. Do it for yourself

Whatever you're doing, do it to make yourself happy. Go to the gym to make yourself feel good, not to make someone like your body. Study more to make yourself smarter, not to make your parents happy. Resolve to put yourself first.

2. Appreciate your friends more

Do nice things for the people you care about. Don't do it expecting to get something in return at some point. Resolve to be a better friend.

3. Give yourself a chance

Stop holding yourself back. Stop ruining good things just because you're scared. Resolve to let things run their course... all good things come with time.

4. Don't take shit from anyone

You are an amazing person, and you deserve to be treated that way. Resolve to surround yourself with people who lift you up, not put you down.

5. Enjoy being young

There's not enough time in your life to worry about everything all the time. Resolve to take a step back and enjoy life.

6. Reach your full potential

Stop aiming for just average, or barely getting by. You are capable of being great in all that you do. Resolve to put all of yourself into all that you do.

7. Make this the best year yet

Leave 2016 in the past. Be open minded to what 2017 has to offer. Resolve to be a happier and healthier you this year.
