It's few days to the end of the year. A time of stock-taking, looking back on the journey so far, weighing the positive and negative times of the year.
I remain grafeful to God for this year, hoping for a better year ahead. Am optimistic of the new year, with all hopes of achieving my goals and aspirations. My plans and expectations for 2018 includes:
Making myself a better person is one of my priorities for the new year. I have not been good in my relationship with my friends and those around me in the previous years. I treated my friends with little or no regard and those around me with neglegence and this affected my relationship with them and made me look like a bad person. But in the new year, I will avoid such attitude because life is simple and should be lived in harmony with friends and those around us.
In the past, I did many things to please others at the detriment of my happiness. I lived a fake life because I wanted to be accepted by others. I have come to a realization that life is soo precious to be faked and short to be lived pleasing others. I pledge to make myself happy and satisfied in the new year regardless of what people say or think about me.
There are certain bad habits I really want to let go in the new year. Bad habits such as smoking, drinking etc. I have tried soo hard to let them go but the more I try, the more I go back to them. But I am not giving up because I believe in persistence. I hope to over come such bad habits in the new year.
Everyone needs to be loved and inturn, show love to another person. My love life has not been stable due to my failed relationships in the past. I have been a victim of heart break and this made me give up on love. However, I hope to find love in the new year. I hope to find that one girl that would make me feel whole and complete, that would put a smile on my face and make me feel like the most important person in the world.
Unemployment is a major problem in my country. It's two years after my graduation from the university but still, no job. It has not been easy for me but thanks to God, I have been surviving. With an optimistic mind, I am hoping to get a job in the new year as this would help me sort out myself.
These are my plans and expectations for 2018. I know it wunt be easy but I am relying on the grace of God and my efforts to achieve them.
