Hey guys
Every year, we always create New Years Resolution lists at the beginning of the year, some goals are big and some are small. Going into the new year with a plan is always a good idea, because it is important to set goals for yourself no matter how big or small, because it helps you focus your mind on something and gives you something to live for.
The biggest thing I realized this year is that sometimes life does not go the way you expected and you need to sometimes alter your lists to fit your situation. This is not always a bad thing, it is just important to remember that you need to open yourself up to the opportunities around you and welcome change into your life. After having many conversations with many different people, I noticed that a lot of people get really upset and think that they failed if they don’t fulfill their lists and goals, and I just wanted to tell you that it is ok not to meet every expectation, we are all human.
Every year, I make my resolutions lists, and every year I probably do about 1 of the things on my list, because either the goals on my list were not possible to achieve in just that one year, or they weren’t the correct goals for me. As the years go by, we sometimes change as people and that is caused by events that happen in our lives, even if it’s one single event. You could have on your list that you would like to create your own business, but then you realize that you don’t actually have what it takes to own your own business, so you end up working for someone in an industry that you didn’t even think was an option for you. You just need to realize that it is ok to admit when something is not going to work out.
When I was in high school, I wanted to be a Journalist but I didn’t get the grades to study it, and so I changed my dreams a little bit to suit my situation, however I still found a way to continue writing by starting my own blog and it is the best decision I ever made. When you are really passionate about something then it is very often better to do it as a hobby and get a career in something else, so that you can keep your passion alive without the pressure of having a career around it. Having my own blog means I can write about whatever I want to write about without having the pressures of a deadline or a boss to answer to.
I hope 2026 is everything you hope it will be and carry on creating those goals for yourself, just don’t beat yourself up if you don’t achieve all of them.
I will be making my list in the new year and then will post it, but I hope you enjoyed this post and enjoy celebrating the end of 2025 with all your friends and family, I know I will.
Bye xx
