365 New Days - 365 New Chances
Before we begin a new chapter, as a little arising tradition, may we take a quick moment to reflect on how the year 2021 passed, then imagine how the year 2022 will direct. Let’s get a little bit brighter and positive here, shall we?
"I see trees of green
Red roses too
I see them bloom
For me and you
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world
I see skies of blue
And clouds of white
The bright blessed day
The dark sacred night
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world"
- What a Wonderful World -
Keywords that 2021 had taught us were the word “Learn" and "Improve”
Learn
To us, LEARN is different from STUDY. Learning - the act of acquiring knowledge through experience, the lessons learned in life. In 2021, each of us definitely learned something no matter how huge or small, no matter how good thing or bad thing, no matter how useful or useless. In the end, you will have a unique heritage. Time by time, it will teach us passion, sacrifices, and opportunities for us to truly understand ourselves.
“In school, you're taught a lesson then given a test. In life, you are given a test that teaches you a lesson.” - Tom Bodett
Learning will never be a direct flight straight for you to achieve it. Instead, there will be turbulence, delays, and opportunities to test your patience over and over again. However, wiser said that ‘Take the bitter with the sweet’ or we can accept both life’s misfortunes as well as its joys. After all, your heritage will give you opportunities to define happiness as each day goes by. This is also the beauty of learning - our lessons do not end there, they constantly evolve and change as we grow.
Improve
Improve on yourself, your own mindset, be a better version of yourself than yesterday, and the other good things will follow after your manifestations.
"When we strive to become better than we are, everything around us becomes better too" - Paulo Coelho
Before you are able to change the world, you must know how and what to change about yourself as you strive for excellence. As life is endless of lessons and that are our opportunities to step up and move forward. Taking that chance is your decision and this should be made by your heart direction. As the saying goes that choosing something is to allow it to also choose you, and that allows you to improve more than you expected.
Turn your Resolutions into Lasting Change In 2022
Get Clear on the Why
Your New Year’s resolution might be to get a promotion at work, but why? Understand not just the short-term outcome you want, but the true purpose of your decision or what your heart says. When you understand why you want your goal, you will find a way to achieve it – even when things get challenging. That is why we have a statement of "When you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it" - Paulo Coelho.
Resources and Abilities
At the same time, we also need to be realistic about the goals we’re setting and heading to. While it’s always good to dream big, you also need to break those dreams down into SMART goals. Goals that are Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic, and anchored within a Time frame allow you to track your progress and are key to success. This is how to find the sweet spots between setting objectives that are ambitious enough to spur us forward and avoiding those that are unrealistic and unreachable.
Keep Going
When faced with a setback, or if you feel that you’ve failed completely, don’t give up. As the new year is the chance for us to do what we can while we still can. We believe that you’ll turn your obstacles into opportunities in no time. Perhaps the goal in life is not to be the best at everything, but to be ready for anything within our capabilities. That is why some say "The secret of life is to fall seven times and to get up eight times" - Paulo Coelho.
HAPPY NEW YEAR
As we step into 2022, we are sending our heartiest new year wish to you and hope you will kick-start your new year successfully.
May this year bring new happiness, new goals, new achievements, and many new inspirations to your life. Wishing you a year fully loaded with happiness, peace, and prosperity. Happy new year!
