Hi everybody, as we all know, 2016 has now come to an end. And for me, an end always means a fresh start and an opportunity to do something new or make something better. I have never really been one for the idea of new years resolutions. But I have come to realise that setting myself promises and goals, is one of the things that motivates me the most. It makes me want to achieve and prove myself. So, on the chilly new years eve of 2016, I sat down and wrote myself some promises. Not just for 2017, but beyond. 2016 has perhaps been one of the craziest years of my life, both good and bad. So I will take this fresh start, make myself some promises. Let the good grow. And (hopefully) conquer the bad.
Promises to myself 2017 and beyond
- Be KIND to YOURSELF.
- Be KIND to OTHERS
- Be CONFIDENT within YOURSELF.
- Be STRONG.
- PERSUE your DREAMS, let nothing stop you from achieving them.
- WORK hard for what you WANT.
- BEAT your FEAR
- FOCUS on your HAPPINESS
- Be POSITIVE
- FIGHT for what YOU BELIEVE in, INSPIRE OTHERS.
So there are a few things I either what to carry on doing, or start doing. I think it is very important to not only set yourself goals, but make promises to yourself. Every day is a brand new fresh start, one we have the ability to make into whatever we wish. Do not just set yourself a goal that you will probably forget. Make yourself a promise. Make your life something that you feel is beautiful, because we have the opportunity to. And that is something that should not be taken for granted. We have a brand new start.We all have different minds and opinions, but when united, we can change the world.
Also, a huge thank you for all you have given me this year. It has been such a great year of blogging. I have met so many inspirational and wonderful people here. And friends I will remember for my entire life, you have all impacted me, and my year, so thank you. Have a wonderful 2017!
Love, Misstery
It’s weird- I always make fun of the new year thing, not starting off well like last year. But i’ve been much better, and i’m looking forward to the year. I think I kind of just actually grew from the experiences, not forcing myself too. This really inspires me. I find myself more happier, and I’d like to better myself this year as well. Thankyou again! I’m going to write this down π

Oh your comments always bring me so much happiness, that is just so lovely! I’m so glad you find it inspiring. Happiness does not come in one day, and neither usually does progress. Which is why goals should not be taken as something that can be achieved instantly. Its just the matter of knowing that it will come with time, and learning from the things you have been through. So happy you enjoyed! β¨
