Resolutions

Discussion in 'Off Topic' started by Delphin, Dec 19, 2016.

  1. In the final stretches of 2016, it's time to start reflecting on the past year. Mistakes we made, things we had to let go, achievements we made, successes we shared. It may have been the best year, or the worst. It may just fade into an oblivion of mediocre memories. Whatever your case may be, I hope you the best moving forward, and use the next couple weeks to look back, and maybe make some conscious decisions about how to improve yourself in the future.

    There's always the usual- "I'm going to get skinny" "I'm going to work harder and get that promotion" "I'm going to find someone special to share my life with" "I'm going to finally BC". Whatever. I urge you to really take a look at yourself though, and assess how you want to move forward.

    I've made my resolutions, and in doing so, I've decided to start a little early, and use new years to just reinforce the decisions I've already made.

    For instance, I've realized that I tend to look for the worst in people, and judge them based on that- a flaw in myself I've resolved to work on. I've realized I have become dishonest and disingenuous with friends and family, so in the future I'm going to be honest and upright, even if it's hard, or might not be what they want to hear. Additionally, I've found that I tend to keep my thoughts and feelings to myself, and this has built up resentment towards others for no real good reason. I'm going to work on speaking up, with always try to be kind and fair.

    Sometimes it takes a good hard look in the mirror to look inside yourself, and this year I found I didn't like what I saw. That's going to change.

    How are you doing? Did you fulfill last year's resolutions? If not, what held you back?

    Good luck in the new year, and whatever it may bring you. Feel free to share your plans for 2017 :)
     
  2. I plan on mocking everyone in a month or so when they fail miserably at their resolutions.
     
  3. It's funny. There was a time when I mocked resolutions and their very principle. Now though, I think if change is needed, it starts as an idea, and words give it form, actions fill that form, and habit makes it a state of being. There are no steps to skip, so the more often you say what you want to do, the more real it becomes and the more likely you are to follow it.

    If you resolve to do 10 push-ups a day(or whatever it is), tell yourself every morning that you're going to do it, any you're more likely to hold yourself accountable.
     
  4. If you do not posses the ability to take positive steps in your life today, in this moment, you do not have the ability to do it on an arbitrary cultural "start over" day.
     
  5. ^ at least steps which will culminate in something long term
     
  6. The only thing that culminates is repeated failure. Look at your local gyms parking lot in January, go back and look at it in March.

  8. Ready to say goodbye to 2016. ️
     
  9. My new years resolution is to detach myself from the fake friends in my life. The ones who are only want to talk when its "convenient" for them. The ones who would just pass you by without a simple hello unless spoken to, and even then walk on by. Yet they act buddy buddy when they have no else to talk to. The ones whose only sense of humor is to make jokes at your expense, even if you've told them to stop. **** fake friends, I've started my resolutions a little bit early, and it made a few instances awkward. But hey, its worked so far and I'm glad I did.

    This was very personal, sorry for the wall of text of my angry emotions lol.
     
  10. Not bad

  11. my goal for 2017 is to boast my armour up with all the pro packs.i have started early and set myself on my first goal to keep hitting them quests until i win 500 nobility for the prized 500 nobility pro pack. i have had to stop all my commitments on kaw because this has became my 1st wish.This bundle comes loaded with loads of speakers.i would have got this pro pack ages ago because i've won loads of nobility but i cant stop myself and use them in exchange for speakers. When i have acquired the beautiful 500 nobility pro pack.Then & only then will i make my long awaited return back to play kaw.i must not bend and stay focused until i have amassed them. !
     
  12. I started working out more seriously a few months ago, and fully intend to get on the new years gym deals to take it to the next level.
     
  13. All good! I got personal to help others feel comfortable with it too. It's healthy to voice these things, and while sometimes forums aren't the best place to talk about it, it is a place that everyone should be able to support each other- no matter what about. Good on you for taking steps to your own happiness! :)
     
  14. That's cool! I'm well aware of how hard it is to earn nobility from quests. My sources tell me it's a .92% chance. Awesome that you have some set goals and determination to achieve them. May the odds be in your favor :)
     
  15. Haha Roni!

    Hey, don't mock resolutions. Its more symbolic to take a stand on something on the cusp of the new year - humans have been making promises that way for thousands of years.

    My resolution seems a little odd. In the past, I have avoided conflict with people that I dislike. I tend to just smile and go along. My resolution is to stop feigning friendship with girls in my life who bore me. Life is too short to pretend you care about tupperware. I have decided that I, and people around me, need to accept that such inanity is simply not my thing.
     
  16. My newyears resolution is to help my friend return to health so we both may enjoy a better year to come.
     
  17. My New Years is to make friends.
     
  18. I gave up my clan, Angels of Kaw, trimmed out stress both in KaW and real life. For the coming year I don't have a resolution per se, but I hope to continue to make people smile and to enjoy myself more
     
  19. To stop luring kids into my van and to stop hiding in bushes outside schools
