New Years Resolutions

Every time around this year people make fake promises to themselves about the upcoming new year – resolutions. I’m just kidding.. As you all know the New Year is just hours away and we look upon the past year and think about some things that we would do differently or we would have liked to do differently.

For many, this is a time to decide to quit smoking, work harder, lose weight, etc. But how many of these resolutions actually come true. I mean, honestly, how many people even remember their resolutions after the first week or two of January have passed by? Not many, I’d imagine.

Well, either way, I think it would be a great idea to actually write out a few good resolution ideas and maybe some of you guys can chime in and tell me what you feel. These are just random suggestions dealing with life, your career, etc, so dont take these personally – these are merely for fun and entertainment. Also, I am doing the first 4 as what we should do more vs. what we should do less and the last is something we should try and maintain.

1) Learn More – Being a student, this sounds like a funny first thought, but think about it. The economy is kind of suffering and the competition for new jobs and even existing jobs is high so if you learn more, you will become more qualified to either retain your job or you may be one of the lucky few who actually receives a promotion. If you’re in the job market, then it will show your employers how motivated you are to learn and this will eventually help you get that job you’ve always wanted.

2) Worry Less – Some of the most enjoyable moments in life can be ruined or forgotten because you worry too much and carry too much stress on your shoulders. I know its easier said than done but staying positive an

3) Earn More – I think this is probably the most important for us MMO bloggers but earning more money should not be more important than improving yourself through learning and enjoying the moments of life more by worrying less and thats why this is third on the list. You have to realize that money isn’t everything however, having more money in the future years will only be another way to prove to oneself that you can do what you dream and you can make things happen if you really want them. Trying to earn more isn’t only about the money but about the feeling of achieving success.

4) Waste Less – With poverty being so prevalent, it is our duty as human being who have the basic necessities in life to try and waste as little as possible – whether its food, money, or anything else. There are people who starve every day around the world and the less we waste, the more they will have. The less money we spend on food that we won’t eat or finish completely, that money could go to a better place. We have to realize that our actions have an effect on such people and we can help reduce that by reducing the impact our lifestyles have on people who are less fortunate than us.

5) Maintain health and happiness – When I say maintain, my assumption is that you are already healthy and happy or striving to achieve a little more of both. In this sense, it is important to keep our health in mind and always remember that our health is very important – no matter what the cost may be. Remaining healthy will result in a more prosperous future. In addition, its important to stay happy and look at the brighter side of things as it will always help in making any situation better.

I hope these resolutions are ones that you can relate with. These are just a few of my suggestions however it would be nice to see what you have in mind for the upcoming New Year!
