NEW YEAR; NEW ME

  Hello; it has been a while hope you have been well.   It’s the New Year and for the first time in a while, I didn’t see any new year new me statuses. Have people given up on changing their lives? Or are we overwhelmed by the state of the world which seems to not be changing?  In our capacity, we cannot change the world but what we can change is our look at life. We set targets for new year’s resolutions but we rarely ever get to attain a satisfactory result at the end of the year. The reason for this is we always procrastinate for example I have been thinking I need to lose some weight so I have been thinking of the diet when I asked when I plan to start it I said the 10th and knowing myself I will keep procrastinating.

Needless, the words of gratitude stayed with me throughout the day; I found even my attitude to everyone I interacted with after changed. I was more patient and diligent in my work and tried to assist everyone to the best of my ability.  When we hear the words "thank you," we feel validated and seen whatever you did isn't just another completed task. Instead, it's a service that was, appreciated. When asked about how they feel when they thank someone, an unknown person said," First of all, it means that I have noticed, felt and been nourished by something or someone. Then, when I give it back to the universe, my soul does cartwheels with happiness. It's the best feeling ever. It's like getting a compliment; all you need do is say "thank you"."  So lately, I h
