This New Years I resolve not to change

New Years resolutions are a big thing. People are always promising themselves the need to change, make their life better. I’ve done that many times before too. But not this year.

I’ve decided that this year I don’t need to change or introduce novelty into my life but instead just double down on what is good in my life and what is making me successful. Not fret on my struggles but be more grateful for what I have and who I am. And enjoy life more – because there really is a lot wonderful in this world.

Now not everything is perfect in my life. I’m the first one to admit it. But why dwell on what is bad? For all the bad there is a lot of good things happening. It’s not to say that I should abandon the conservative approach I take to many things in my life but it’s also to say maybe I don’t have to press harder to improve things that are good enough. Nothing wrong with a little radical acceptance of the way things are.
