Taking it one step at a time

This year is coming to an end, and I rush around to locate my New Year resolutions for 2019!

Are they on the personal computer? No! Then they must be saved on the laptop. No! Is it on my Ipad? I must have posted them on Facebook. Or Instagram? Or Twitter? Alexa, help! Siri, do you have the answer?

And I get lost in the maze of technology. And then I remember – I did not make any New Year resolutions. It is very difficult to make resolutions and then keep them.

How do you know what the future will be? Will you progress in your career? Will you go on a holiday? Will you buy a new house? I think resolutions are made only to be broken because we don’t know what lies ahead in the coming days! If I resolve to read lots of books, my eyes may not be up to it. If I resolve to go on a holiday, my health may not be up to it. If I resolve to buy a new house, I can’t find one that is suitable.

So friends, my opinion is: Do not make New Year resolutions! Live each day as it comes. Live it to the fullest. If one day does not go as you would wish it to, try the next day. You can make resolutions for each day in the morning and then see how it works out. Only make two resolutions: One, to stay happy and healthy and the other, which is more important, not to forget to thank God every day for what you have been able to do in your life. He is the one who makes the resolutions. Here’s wishing you a happy, healthy and spiritual year ahead.
