NEW YEAR, NEW CHANCE

                   

                    It's been a traditional routine especially for us Filipinos to have our new year's resolution and that's because we wanted for a change. Of course, who doesn't like a change? As they said, the only thing that is permanent in this world is CHANGE so whether you like it or not you just have to adopt yourself with it and just enjoy the flow. I guess that's how our lives go on.

                      

               It is always good to start a year with a change, positive changes to be specific. So that's most of us usually do when new year comes. Listing our new year's resolutions, Swearing we will never repeat the same mistakes again, doing our best to become a better person and of course if the year is new then you should also be able to come up a new version of yourself. New Year, New Me! But the truth is, do we really put in actions those words that we said? Do we mean it when we said we're ready for a change? We keep saying that, this year I'm gonna change but it turns out that we're doing the same old things in our lives because that is what I observed mostly to myself.

                        Every start of the year I always say, I swear I'm gonna change. I swear I will not be mad if my parents can't give the things I want. I swear I'm not going into fight anymore. I swear I'll be nice. I swear........ blah blah blah, things like that. Then after a year I find myself swearing the same thing all over again. That's when I realized that it is easy to say but it's hard to walk with your talk. Do you ever experience that  no matter how much you wanted to change there is always blocking your way and that thing called temptation?Well I experience it and guess what? I'm not strong enough to fight it, that's why I never change. I just keep repeating the same mistakes and that's very disappointing.  

                               

                           So now, I'm not saying that I'll be able to fulfill all the things that I've been swearing repeatedly every new year but I will try it again and this time with full determination in the sincerest way that I could because I believe that New Year is not just for a change, it's also for a chance.

                             A chance to make everything's better. A chance to set things right. A chance for improvement, better luck, better life and of course another chance to explore the beauty of the world together with our love ones. A chance to become fiercer and braver so that for the next new years of your lives you'll be able to fight any kind of temptations and everything that will block you in your journey to a better change.
