2014
It’s
new year. It’s time to start again.
Stop thinking about what you’re going to do
and start doing it. It’s time to live your life and be who you are. Forget
about whatever happened in 2013 and just moved on. Take risks and be yourself,
you only have one life and it’s time to make the most of it.
Make a new year’s
resolution and this time, achieve it no matter what the cost is.
New Year is all about a new beginning, a
fresh start, a brand new life.
It’s all about letting go of the past and
moving on to a better (as what
everybody’s optimistically hoping for) future.
And while everyone’s been sharing their new
year’s resolution, I just wanted to share key points that I have pondered on
how to live your 2014 to the fullest.
Try
Out Something New
New Year wouldn’t be “new” at all without
trying something different, without learning something new.
The best way to spend new year is by
exploring and experimenting on something you never did before. It could be as
simple as new hairdo (just like what I
did), new hobby (painting, drawing,
or sports related hobby), new course or path to take (you may want to take up class on baking, make-up, photography or
anything you simply long been wanting to learn).
Trying out something new could also be about
“renewing” or reinventing yourself. For instance, you might consider shedding
off extra pounds you gained during the holiday and be able to get that perfect bod that you’ve
always dreamed on. If you find fitness centers/ gym impractical, a simple
work-out at home or along your village with proper discipline will do. You might
also consider changing your wardrobe, the way you dress yourself, the way you
wear make-up.
Try to be bolder. To take chances. To take
risks. Even if this may entail uncertainty, on not knowing what lies ahead, at
least you DID try.
The best way to live life is knowing that
you did take chances, no what ifs, no regrets.
Do
Travel
Quoting Dalai Lama, “Once a Year Go Someplace You’ve Never Been Before”.
The best thing about traveling is not only
you get yourself into a new and different place but you also get to learn a lot
of things about that place : culture, tradition, food, people.
Travelling gives you that once a lifetime
experience that’s worth-cherishing.
You meet and befriend strangers. You gained
friends you never thought you would. You hear other people’s stories. You get
lessons. You get lost. You get compliments. You get to experience something new
(like snow!).

Above all, travelling allows you to create memories
which money can never buy.
Traveling doesn't have to be always with family,
friend or my special someone, you can always do travel alone and explore the
world.
Fulfill
Your Dreams
Again, getting the inspiration from the gift
that I got (which I previously posted last Christmas), new year is also about fulfilling
your dreams which you never had a chance to take, to do.
Sometimes, we are misled with the idea that
there is always “plenty” of time to do what we have always dreamed of, until
you’ll realize that everything’s too late already, or worst, you’ll never have
a chance to do so.
If you wanted to teach, then do so. If you
wanted to become a writer, or a take a new career path, then do so. In a Pinoy
slang “ipush natin yan”.
The best year, the best day to fulfill dreams
is not tomorrow or some other day, the best time is NOW.
Just think about what Mark Twain have said:
