As the new year approaches, so do our long lost resolutions. Each year we vow to change our lives for the better, but somehow lose touch of our goals until this time of year rolls back around. I say we all make a resolution, to have a brighter outlook on life while spreading more positivity from one person to the next. We should aim to keep this resolution, not only for 2017, but for all of the years to come.
I know from personal experience that negativity is hard to break away from at times, but what we need to realize is that these small, everyday changes can have such a tremendous impact on our lives. We can initiate this change by shifting our outlooks towards a more positive perspective as we quit dwelling on the negative aspects of the circumstances in our lives as well as the lives of others. Too often we allow ourselves to get worked up over little things which, in turn, can ruin our entire day. Instead of letting the bad things ruin our moods, we should allow the good things in life lift our spirits. The next time that you're having a rough moment, day, or even week, just sit back and remember the greater things in life and that life moves on, and you should too. We must have the bad moments in our lives in order to better appreciate and cherish the good ones.
Not only will these changes bring a more pleasant life for ourselves, but for those we care about and surround ourselves with as well. Just as negativity can bring others down, positivity can lift others up. Why not take the chance to make a favorable change in your own life and the lives of those around you? As the new year comes and goes, let a fresh and positive mindset stay with you always. Don't just make positivity a New Year's resolution, but a new life resolution.
