New Year's Resolution

Happy New Year!! So, it's about time to make a New Year's resolution, right? Not really for me. I am not a huge fan of New Year's resolution not because eveyone makes it and I want to be different but for other reasons.

One reason is that any day of the year is as fresh as New Year's Day. I guess it means something as the first day of the year. But, to me, every morning when I wake up is as new as New Year's Day. So, I'd rather make everyday's resolution than once-a-year New Year's resolution. That way, I won't have to make a big resolution and end up being dissapointed at myself after not being able to accomplish it. It's hard enough for me to do what I decide to do each day. So, I am not going to waste my time thinking what my New Year's resolution is going to be this year.

Have you ever decided on your New Year's resolution a few weeks before New Year's Day after coming up with something that you want to do or you have to do? Or it may be something that you decided you were going to do during that year and found yourself where it wasn't going to happen. But wait! If you know what you want to do now, why don't you start now? If you put it off even a day, there will be more chance of not getting it done than a day before. That one day may cost you. And that one day, it might be too late to do because you don't know what is going to happen tomorrow. 

And, if you make a New Year's resolution, it is likely that you would think 'Oh, I still have 360 days til the end of this year' and keep procrastinating. Don't give yourself too much time unless you plan so that you accomplish a smaller part of the big picture everyday or each week and it all comes together at the end. 

I am not saying making a New Year's resolution is bad or anything. I am just saying I am not a huge fan of it. All I wanted to say is to live everyday the hardest you could possibley live. That is what I try to do everyday. Why? Once it's happened, I can't take it back. We live on the earth only once. If I have time to spend regretting what I should have done, I'd rather live the hardest so I wouldn't have to regret. And tomorrow is not a promise. We never know what will happen tomorrow or even a few hours from now. There are so many kids who are fighting for their lives. To them, every moment of their life that they are living is precious. And I have seen so many of them living their time the hardest they could. If they can do that, why can't we??

If you have a chance to help others, do it right away. If you have a change to share the gospel, do it now. Because that one day that you send waiting might become a little too late the next day.
