No more resolutions

Today, i discovered something inpsiring from a video that a friend posted on FB. I learnt that the happiest person on earth doesn't have the best of everything, they make the best of everything.

So i thought to myself: if i make the best of everything, then there would be no expectations. I've live with expectations for most of my life. It's really tiring and painful.

I don't know why I have this sudden urge inside to discover possibilities in the coming year. It's like an upheaval of emotion. There's this rush of energy inside that led me to think that nothing is impossible. It's weird and i've never felt this kind of feeling before in my entire 26 years of life.

Maybe it's because i didn't want to set any resolution and didn't plan for anything to happen next year. Or maybe because every part of me has finally got it that it's time to let go and surrender to what is. I don't really know what's the cause of all this. But i have a feeling that it'll be a great year.

I feel like there's nothing more to do but to give it all i've got and to give it unconditionally. To live life because i deserve it. To love unconditionally because that's what love is. To laugh because my heart is so light that it could fly. To be kinder to people because they're human too.

It's crazy yet profoundly simple, sincere, and most of all pure and clear. I guess what my friend said was right, "Just be passionate in everything you do and people will see your inner beauty." And what Munera said was right too, "Just don't go looking for love, just enjoy life, do whatever you like and it'll automatically come to you." I know this for a fact, because it's happening to her :)

So to anyone who's reading this, i'm not asking you to chuck your resolutions away. But have a look at it. Are they really the things that you want, or is there something more that's worthwhile for you? Something larger than life that you've always wanted to do but was too afraid to do? Or were there too many considerations? Sometimes it could be as simple as choosing to pay more attention to your breaths. Because when you're aware of yourself and feeling calmer, it's easier to achieve anything you want.

Think about it. Don't list down resolutions just because everyone else is doing it. Do it for you. Not because you want to fit into the new year.
