Its the first week of 2016 ! I have been excited and celebrating this new year for the past 3 days. Many people will make their resolutions believing it will bring success, happiness and joy for the year. Most of those lists will look the same as the previous year- Repeat, Repeat, and Repeat. Why is this? Statistics show that 60% of New Years resolutions fail. Only 40% of those "ResolutioNaries" (new word) were still committed to their goal by mid-year.
If we are going to repeat anything, why not repeat being happy. Experts say happiness is a choice not a feeling( I learned that from OWN-Oprah ). You can choose, no matter what your circumstance is, to be happy. Just thinking of what went well for me in 2015, the best moments were when I was carefree, volunteering and showing random acts of love. This brought my "Happy On".
Instead of having a list of resolutions remember what brought your "Happy On" and do more of it in 2016. You can certainly try what I did; decide to be free, give and show love.
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
