The most common phrase I've been hearing since November is "New Year, New Me!" I heard it so many times within the past 19 years, I get sick of it. Not only that, but the people that do say it almost never change, some do, but most don't. Which defeats the purpose of saying "New Year, New Me" when there isn't a change.
Let's face it every one of us has something to change. Whether it is adding something to ourselves or changing our toxic traits, it doesn't matter we all need to change in some sort of form. As a master procrastinator, I know if need to change I do it now otherwise if I don't I lose friends. I wonder why others wait until January 1st to change, especially when it is the toxic traits that need to be changed.
I'll admit that I am not perfect and that I have more than my fair share of unidentified toxic traits, but once identified I get it fixed because I know how important change is to others and myself. Some people will live with it until the new year to "change." What is the difference between changing during the new year and now? Someone, please tell me because I don't see the difference at all.
We are human beings, not immortals and we are not guaranteed to live in the new year. As humans, we want to better ourselves in any way we can. Why wait? Why wait until the new year, where opportunities with your new personality have come and gone. If anything we cannot take our chances in waiting for something to happen. Most of y'all don't hesitate to go on an adventure. Why hesitate on changing yourself for the best?
