My Resolutions in 2022
“I will be generous with my love today. I will sprinkle compliments and uplifting words everywhere I go. I will do this knowing that my words are like seeds and when they fall on fertile soil, a reflection of those seeds will grow into something greater.”
― Steve Maraboli
The above quote are resolutions by Steve and reading through them each and abiding by them are what makes you consistent in your words. Resolutions means "declarations." They are what you profess out of your mouth to do and have a positive change in yourself. Making resolutions is also the same as improving in your personal development and I want to posit that we all do have resolutions to make especially this coming year. Every day, week, month, and year, we write down our goals and resolutions and we make sure to stick by them.
I have several resolutions for myself and by my determination and with God´s help, I shall be revisiting them as a reminder to me so I will not just forget about it. Writing it here alone isn´t enough, but to keep them somewhere else so you can always visit them again to help you through the year.
❇️ ANGER ISSUE
This anger issue is hereditary and everyone in my family has this issue and I am always quick to anger. Though, I am always praying daily but I think prayer alone can´t work except I determine to put an end to it. Words get me angry quickly, but I am declaring to myself not to be quick to anger which I believe in myself and putting this note at my reach would help me too.
❇️ TAKING A DECISION IMMEDIATELY
I am so weak at taking decisions or making promises and would not stick to them, especially when it has to do with myself. I might want to do something, or out of anger make a promise to stop a particular thing, but after relaxing, I quickly changed my mind. Though I am always fulfilling promises to others, but I do not to myself. I conclude things easily and after few minutes, I would change it. I am deciding to change and be slow to make a promise or decision to myself.
❇️ NOT KEEPING THINGS TO MYSELF
I still feel like I do keep things to myself at some point. Most times, I can´t express myself when I am angry at someone. I prefer to keep it to myself, forgive and forget, instead of confronting that person. I want to be able to talk it out and forget immediately. I will surely work it out in this year 2022. Spill it out!
❇️ ONLINE COURSES
I do this before but stopped at a point when I couldn´t focus or give more attention to it. Then, it was my studies that didn´t give me time for it, but now that I will be graduating soon, I would have time for online courses so I can add to my CV.
❇️ READ A BOOK EVERY MONTH
Seriously, this is one of the reasons I would keep a copy of this so I can remember I need to read a book per month. At least reading 12 books in a year isn´t too much. I can see how beneficial it is to read a book daily to improve you and widen your knowledge.
❇️ MAINTAIN MY FRIENDSHIP ONLINE
I have done it before and I will continue in it. I do not have much physical friends, but since I focus much online, I need to maintain the ones I call my friends. I want to keep in touch with them.
❇️ PRACTICE AN ACT OF KINDNESS AND GIVING
I will never stop doing this since it´s part of me. I prefer to give voluntarily than doing it when you ask from me.
❇️ WRITE DOWN ONE THING I AM GRATEFUL FOR EVERY NIGHT
With this, I have planned to buy a Journal meant only for gratitude alone. I love showing gratitude daily, but I want to make it specific every night so that when I look at my Journal, I will remember how it happened and this would help me appreciate God the more. This would take effect on the 1st of January definitely.
❇️ GO OUT ONCE IN A WHILE
Perhaps if I should count how many times I have gone out this year, I don´t think it would reach 10 times. I do not go out unless I am forced to. I do not mean going to the market or school 😂 I mean taking myself out for a treat. I want to do this often, at least to have fun and see things outside instead of locking myself inside as if they have glued my body in the house. Lol
❇️ NOT GIVING EXCUSE
Giving an excuse can never lead us anywhere unless we admit our mistakes and change from them. A successful person will never give excuse but takes responsibility of his or her actions. I don't want to give excuse again. I want my Yes to be Yes and my No to be No. I want to take responsibility of my actions. No one would beat or punish me, I just need to come out straight instead of beating around the bush.
So help me God. Amen.
These are few of my resolutions for the year 2022 and I am promising myself to stick to them. I will always revisit a copy of this so I won't have to deviate from what I have decided for myself. I want to see changes in me.
Thanks for reading
The goals outlined for 2022 are good, like you said you will save this, try and make a working schedule on how to achieve them. I pray you do most of them if not all. They are achievable though
