New Year Resolutions, Wishes and Habits
Motivational
Series for Personal and Professional Development
Series # 1 (Dt. 3-2-2016,
Wednesday)
Few days before the New Year and
during the first week of New Year most of us become excited and emotionally
charged to bring some changes in us and in the world. We wish Happy New Year to
our family members, friends, colleagues and others. We celebrate it in
different ways.
“Hope smiles from the threshold
of the year to come, whispering it will be happier …” – Alfred Lord Tennyson.
We make many Resolutions to stop
bad habits i.e. Smoking, eating junk
foods, procrastination, short temper, negative thinking, use less mobile and internet.
And start new habits and develop skills i.e. start fitness regime (going to
Gym, attend a Yoga class, Walking etc.), Reading and Writing, Drawing, Dancing,
Cultivate good manners, Be assertive, Proactive, Helping wife in Household
things, Teaching children etc.
We also prepare wish list for our
professional life / workplace i.e. to reach office early, Planning and
organizing things in office, to be a good team member, achieve targets in time,
motivate team members, develop networking with professionals, innovate and work
efficiently etc.
People expect and hope that there
will be harmony, peace, happiness and progress in the world. The world will be
a better place to work and live. Govt will be more proactive. Poverty,
Unemployment, Inequality, Crime will be reduced.
There are many publications in
the newspapers, magazines and online -
how make New Year Resolutions, how to set Goals during that period.
Very few people put their
resolutions and wish list in writing but most of us just keep these in our
mind. What happens afterwards…… in the few weeks of 1st month. We
forget our resolutions and wish list. We went back to our old habits. New year becomes a old one … normal …as usual
…
“Rightly understood the New Year
festival is an act of faith. It is easier for the year to change than to change
ourselves. But we believe that somehow, magically one will lead to the other”.
– R. Joseph Hoffmann
To be continued in every Wednesday ……..
