New Year's Conflict and Resolution

Do not talk yourself out of what you really want for your New Year's Resolution

New Year's Conflict and Resolution
Chad Green

Once again the time has come for everyone to start making and probably not keeping a New Year's Resolution. As 2016 comes to an end and 2017 rolls around, people are talking about what they can do to better themselves for the new set of 365 days. However, the only problem that has been set and stone since the beginning of time is the fact that not everyone can actually keep to their resolution, no matter what it may be. So, maybe it is time for a little encouragement for those who cannot seem to hold their 'new lively hood' together. Let's start with somethings one may think of doing but just won't:

1. Tell your crush how you really feel.

This thought has been burning in your head since God knows when. Have you've heard the saying 'the worst they can say is no?' Well it is true. Don't let that little word stop you from speaking the truth....which brings me to point number two.

2. Don't be afraid to assess yourself.

I know hiding in this comfy shell of yours is probably the best feeling in the world, but it may be time to throw the shell away. Be the person you really want to be not what others what you to be.

3. If you wanna lose weight, then do it!

No, I am not implying that it s easy because I know that isn't. However, if you're going to try, at least stick to it. Do not do it for a month and think that it's too hard and you cannot do it and just stop. Guess what? You can do it; you just have to believe in yourself.

4. Another difficult choice is making some serious life changes.

Most think of finding a new job or moving to a new city or state or hell maybe even a new country. Many find it scary because you never know if it is going to work out. But, I just say take a risk and just try! You'll never know if you don't and no one wants to think back in life and think about all of the what ifs.

So, there are a few examples are resolutions that people 'say' they're going to do every bit of it. In that statement, the conflict also resides. It is the fact that people are saying and not actually doing. This is a point in life where actions do speak louder than words. Don't let something dangle over your head like a dark cloud because you think that you will not accomplish anything in the end. Remember that it is not up to others to push your through it, it's up to yourself to have the strength to get the things done.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
