Happy New Year

 2026

Going into the new year, my resolutions look a little different from a year or two ago. In the past, my focus was mostly on attaining more material things (which, I think, is pretty standard for many of us… lol).

This time, my focus and perspective are more human-centred, more about personal growth, both spiritually and mentally.

For example, my mission for the year ahead is an attitude adjustment, and a major one at that. When I reflected on the past year, I realised just how much whining and complaining I did. I complained about my job endlessly. I complained about my husband. I complained about my finances. I complained about my weight. I just complained and complained, as if everything in my life was completely upside down.

But the truth is, some of the things I complained about were within my control, things I could have taken charge of and changed. And some were not in my control at all. Complaining about those endlessly was never going to change them.

So this year, I need to change my attitude and my approach. Otherwise, I’ll just have another long year of incubating negative energy and that simply isn’t who I am.

Last year, I was hit by waves of emotion. I convinced myself that everything happening to me or around me was someone else’s fault. That mindset overwhelmed me to the point where I almost did something completely out of character. 

I refuse to repeat that.

I have forgiven myself for my mistakes because I believe God has forgiven me too. I have another chance — to move forward with purpose and honesty. I have a chance to shape the kind of environment I want to live in.

This year, I choose growth.

I will do better.

I will be  better.

Happy 2026!
