it's that time of year again. the time where people around the world set a goal to better themselves and their lives. a promise to start doing good things and to put an end to their bad habits. i've made some new years resolutions. this year i am going to try to be more outgoing, i'm going to focus more on what's important in my life, and i'm going to always try to have a positive attitude towards everything.

my first resolution is to make myself more outgoing. i am a really reserved person and sometimes have a hard time socializing and talking to new people. if i don't know someone really well, then chances are i won't talk to them. i've always been this way, but i've definitely gotten better over the years. this year i really want to break

so this year i really want to pay more attention to things that actually matter. i've realized that there's just some things you can't control in life and that sometimes you just have to let it go. i used to worry and stress over things i had no control over and that definitely impacted me in bad ways. this year i'm going to try my best not to be like that. i want to be able to be happy and focus on the significant things in my life, the things that truly do matter. that way i'll be happier and more successful with everything i …show more content…
i usually have a decent attitude about the majority of things, but i will admit that sometimes i get a little negative and become very hopeless and unmotivated. that really makes me struggle with loads of things and is most definitely one of my biggest problems. i not only want to fix this, but i also need to. i plan on surrounding myself with people who lift me up and encourage me. they say the people you spend your time with have a big affect on you and your attitude. another way i plan to achieve this is by starting my days off with a good and happy attitude. the beginning of your day really affects you and your attitude throughout the day. if i can wake up and have a good attitude about the day ahead, then i think that'll make me feel better and more motivated throughout the

    Rodolfo Costa once said; “Cultivate an optimistic mind, use your imagination, always consider alternatives, and dare to believe that you can make possible what others think is impossible” (Goodreads). Remaining positive has always held an important role in my life. I strive to find positives in every negative situation, and remember that I can always learn something from it. Sometimes changing the way you view a situation can make all the difference. Even through times where I have had every reason to give up, I have chosen to keep a positive attitude. I have found that when I decide to do this, it makes me significantly happier, and I take much more away from the situation.…

    Throughout the year, I learnt that seeking perfection is an impossible task, especially that we learn from mistakes and failures. Therefore, it is important to analyze the outcomes and to reflect on what led to certain results rather than focusing on the negative result itself. Another lesson that my experiences during this year taught me is that no matter where you go or what you do, you will always find people who support and encourage you, yet you will encounter others who try to take advantage of you. Along…

    My life has been going good. I have been keeping my grades up in all of my classes because I need my GPA to go up. I have been stressing out about college, because I have no idea where I want to go. I really wish I would've tried harder as a Freshman because back then I didn't really care, I wish I could just know everything I know now, and restart High School. But on a good note, I just got my license about 2 weeks ago. I like it, it's better than riding the bus every day and when I want to go somewhere, my mom doesn't have to take me. Anyways, I can't believe it is already almost October! This year has been flying by and I don't want it to start snowing yet. I can't wait for Christmas though.…

    My internal goal is to become more confident. Right now i am pretty confident about my body but not so much about my future. A Lot of people don't believe that i can achieve my goals, and it makes me feel bad about myself. I'll always say i'm going to fail or a test or i won't care about my grades. This is exactly why i need to have a positive attitude, so nobody can bring me down or stop me from achieving my goals. If i keep a positive attitude and become confident nobody will put me down, or stop me from achieving my goals.…
