Hello 2015

After a really long hiatus, I am back. It is currently already 10 days into 2015, but Happy New Year everybody :)

Cliched as it is, I am the type of person who still makes new year's resolutions. Why make them, you may ask, when they are meant to be broken?

I make these resolutions not just for the sake of it.
To me, my resolutions tell my story, or rather, they guide me to building my dream story of my life.

Previously, I've always had my eye on prizes, recognition and pride. Win first place in the inter school drama competition, beat my classmates test scores, that sort of thing. As satisfying as their yield was, ultimately these were nothing but material happiness. A flame burns bright for couple of seconds then flickers out, the shining moment of glory shoved aside and replaced by another.

So instead, I am setting out to find real happiness - from the inside.

This 2015, instead of setting a dozen goals to vie for trophies and fame, there will only be one simple principle I'll promise to live by

" I will be a better person I am today than I am yesterday"

This year will be a year of learning, of improving and of growing myself to be a better person than I was in the past 18 years. Of learning to love more, give more, appreciate more and finding happiness in life's little moments.

After all, the best things in life come free.

Here's to a great 2015!
