Resolutions For 2018

Reminder to myself:

1. To give more than receive, to give without expecting anything in return. It's not easy to be honest. There is always this tiny bit of hope inside of me wishing that people will reciprocate... but it's sad to know that people these days only prioritise happiness for themselves and not for others. And If everyone insists on receiving without giving, then who would each person receive from? 

2. Only say good things, give more compliments, say thank you more instead of always saying sorry. Help people willingly and never put others down. Don't judge and criticise people on how they look, because no one likes being called dark, fat or ugly. Even if you think of it, don't speak of it, because it just makes you look bad.

3. Accept that not everyone is the same. What good you've done for others, don't expect that they will do the same for you. Understand that people are all for themselves at the end of the day. Don't count on people remembering what good you have done for them or even think that they will return their gratitude and most people are selfish or blinded by money.

4. Don't let negative words or actions affect you and never let emotions get the better you. It's not easy when my mum communicates by scolding and shouting. Take a deep breath, don't argue back because it's not worth it. Hugging your pillow and frustrate yourself to sleep works too.

5. Be content with what you already have and appreciate the simple things in life. Do what's right, not because you should, but because you want to. Even when everyone around you is spreading negativity, complaining about life, being angry, unhappy, troubled, depressed, remember to not be the same, instead spread love, happiness and remember to give thanks everyday regardless how big or small.

Good luck for 2018, Fighting!
