Another year has passed! Hello 2012 I say.
And 2012 is just going to be another day of tomorrow of yesterday’s day. To think about it, all of us don’t have to make a new resolution each time of a new year. Why wait? We all can choose to change and make resolution in any other day, if that means to make us a better person. Why not right?
My resolution this year is not really a 2012 resolution but it just happened that I lost my iPhone a few days before the New Year and that was how to ‘zip my bag’ became a New Year resolution for me. Hee!
And I have to start writing my request form the day after tomorrow with a 02 Jan ‘12’ at the back instead of ‘11’. I still remember the last time instead of writing ‘11’, I wrote ‘10’ in the RF and had to change all the dates again in all the hundred over RF. Grrr!
I need to start on my routine jog again. I kept eating like a mother cow! =( *Rubs tummy* Okay goodnight people!
¨°o.O (Post) O.o° 1215 hours
This was shared by my gf PLP! It’s quite a long read but I find it super meaningful and so here I am sharing with all my loved ones. And I will definitely keep this at the back of my mind too, hoping that our 2012 will be more meaningful.
As a tumultuous 2011 winds to an end, here is a lovely reminder of the
things we can stop doing /start doing to give ourselves that new start
again in 2012
http://www.marcandangel.com/2011/12/11/30-things-to-stop-doing-to-yourself/
As Maria Robinson once said, “Nobody can go back and start a new
beginning, but anyone can start today and make a new ending.” Nothing
could be closer to the truth. But before you can begin this process
of transformation you have to stop doing the things that have been
holding you back.
Here are some ideas to get you started:
1. Stop spending time with the wrong people. – Life is too short to
spend time with people who suck the happiness out of you. If someone
wants you in their life, they’ll make room for you. You shouldn’t
have to fight for a spot. Never, ever insist yourself to someone who
continuously overlooks your worth. And remember, it’s not the people
that stand by your side when you’re at your best, but the ones who
stand beside you when you’re at your worst that are your true friends.
2. Stop running from your problems. – Face them head on. No, it won’t
be easy. There is no person in the world capable of flawlessly
handling every punch thrown at them. We aren’t supposed to be able to
instantly solve problems. That’s not how we’re made. In fact, we’re
made to get upset, sad, hurt, stumble and fall. Because that’s the
whole purpose of living – to face problems, learn, adapt, and solve
them over the course of time. This is what ultimately molds us into
the person we become.
3. Stop lying to yourself. – You can lie to anyone else in the world,
but you can’t lie to yourself. Our lives improve only when we take
chances, and the first and most difficult chance we can take is to be
honest with ourselves. Read The Road Less Traveled.
4. Stop putting your own needs on the back burner. – The most painful
thing is losing yourself in the process of loving someone too much,
and forgetting that you are special too. Yes, help others; but help
yourself too. If there was ever a moment to follow your passion and
do something that matters to you, that moment is now.
5. Stop trying to be someone you’re not. – One of the greatest
challenges in life is being yourself in a world that’s trying to make
you like everyone else. Someone will always be prettier, someone will
always be smarter, someone will always be younger, but they will never
be you. Don’t change so people will like you. Be yourself and the
right people will love the real you.
6. Stop trying to hold onto the past. – You can’t start the next
chapter of your life if you keep re-reading your last one.

right people will love the real you.
6. Stop trying to hold onto the past. – You can’t start the next
chapter of your life if you keep re-reading your last one.
7. Stop being scared to make a mistake. – Doing something and getting
it wrong is at least ten times more productive than doing nothing.
Every success has a trail of failures behind it, and every failure is
leading towards success. You end up regretting the things you did NOT
do far more than the things you did.
8. Stop berating yourself for old mistakes. – We may love the wrong
person and cry about the wrong things, but no matter how things go
wrong, one thing is for sure, mistakes help us find the person and
things that are right for us. We all make mistakes, have struggles,
and even regret things in our past. But you are not your mistakes,
you are not your struggles, and you are here NOW with the power to
shape your day and your future. Every single thing that has ever
happened in your life is preparing you for a moment that is yet to
come.
9. Stop trying to buy happiness. – Many of the things we desire are
expensive. But the truth is, the things that really satisfy us are
totally free – love, laughter and working on our passions.
10. Stop exclusively looking to others for happiness. – If you’re not
happy with who you are on the inside, you won’t be happy in a
long-term relationship with anyone else either. You have to create
stability in your own life first before you can share it with someone
else. Read Stumbling on Happiness.
11. Stop being idle. – Don’t think too much or you’ll create a problem
that wasn’t even there in the first place. Evaluate situations and
take decisive action. You cannot change what you refuse to confront.
Making progress involves risk. Period! You can’t make it to second
base with your foot on first.
12. Stop thinking you’re not ready. – Nobody ever feels 100% ready
when an opportunity arises. Because most great opportunities in life
force us to grow beyond our comfort zones, which means we won’t feel
totally comfortable at first.
13. Stop getting involved in relationships for the wrong reasons. –
Relationships must be chosen wisely. It’s better to be alone than to
be in bad company. There’s no need to rush. If something is meant to
be, it will happen – in the right time, with the right person, and for
the best reason. Fall in love when you’re ready, not when you’re
lonely.
14. Stop rejecting new relationships just because old ones didn’t
work. – In life you’ll realize that there is a purpose for everyone
you meet. Some will test you, some will use you and some will teach
you. But most importantly, some will bring out the best in you.
15. Stop trying to compete against everyone else. – Don’t worry about
what others doing better than you. Concentrate on beating your own
records every day. Success is a battle between YOU and YOURSELF only.
16. Stop being jealous of others. – Jealousy is the art of counting
someone else’s blessings instead of your own. Ask yourself this:
“What’s something I have that everyone wants?”
17. Stop complaining and feeling sorry for yourself. – Life’s
curveballs are thrown for a reason – to shift your path in a direction
that is meant for you. You may not see or understand everything the
moment it happens, and it may be tough. But reflect back on those
negative curveballs thrown at you in the past. You’ll often see that
eventually they led you to a better place, person, state of mind, or
situation. So smile! Let everyone know that today you are a lot
stronger than you were yesterday, and you will be.
18. Stop holding grudges. – Don’t live your life with hate in your
heart. You will end up hurting yourself more than the people you
hate. Forgiveness is not saying, “What you did to me is okay.” It is
saying, “I’m not going to let what you did to me ruin my happiness
forever.” Forgiveness is the answer… let go, find peace, liberate
yourself! And remember, forgiveness is not just for other people,
it’s for you too. If you must, forgive yourself, move on and try to
do better next time.
19. Stop letting others bring you down to their level. – Refuse to
lower your standards to accommodate those who refuse to raise theirs.
20. Stop wasting time explaining yourself to others. – Your friends
don’t need it and your enemies won’t believe it anyway. Just do what
you know in your heart is right.
21. Stop doing the same things over and over without taking a break. –
The time to take a deep breath is when you don’t have time for it. If
you keep doing what you’re doing, you’ll keep getting what you’re
getting. Sometimes you need to distance yourself to see things
clearly.
22. Stop overlooking the beauty of small moments. – Enjoy the little
things, because one day you may look back and discover they were the
big things. The best portion of your life will be the small, nameless
moments you spend smiling with someone who matters to you.
23. Stop trying to make things perfect. – The real world doesn’t
reward perfectionists; it rewards people who get things done. Read
Getting Things Done.
24. Stop following the path of least resistance. – Life is not easy,
especially when you plan on achieving something worthwhile. Don’t
take the easy way out. Do something extraordinary.
25. Stop acting like everything is fine if it isn’t. – It’s okay to
fall apart for a little while. You don’t always have to pretend to be
strong, and there is no need to constantly prove that everything is
going well. You shouldn’t be concerned with what other people are
thinking either – cry if you need to – it’s healthy to shed your
tears. The sooner you do, the sooner you will be able to smile again.
26. Stop blaming others for your troubles. – The extent to which you
can achieve your dreams depends on the extent to which you take
responsibility for your life. When you blame others for what you’re
going through, you deny responsibility – you give others power over
that part of your life.
27. Stop trying to be everything to everyone. – Doing so is
impossible, and trying will only burn you out. But making one person
smile CAN change the world. Maybe not the whole world, but their
world. So narrow your focus.
28. Stop worrying so much. – Worry will not strip tomorrow of its
burdens, it will strip today of its joy. One way to check if
something is worth mulling over is to ask yourself this question:
“Will this matter in one year’s time? Three years? Five years?” If
not, then it’s not worth worrying about.
My biggest highlight of all!
29. Stop focusing on what you don’t want to happen. – Focus on what
you do want to happen. Positive thinking is at the forefront of every
great success story. If you awake every morning with the thought that
something wonderful will happen in your life today, and you pay close
attention, you’ll often find that you’re right.
30. Stop being ungrateful. – No matter how good or bad you have it,
wake up each day thankful for your life. Someone somewhere else is
desperately fighting for theirs. Instead of thinking about what
you’re missing, try thinking about what you have that everyone else is
missing.
Have a meaningful 2012!
